RANCHI, India, June 23 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on May 27:
1. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 341, 342, 307, 323, 324, 379, 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. Even if the content of the written report is taken to be true, two coaccused persons, namely, Dipak Kumar and Vishal Kumar @ Vishal Kumar Das, who allegedly assaulted the husband of the informant by means of sword have already been granted anticipatory bail by a Bench of this Court vide order dated 14th January, 2025 passed in A.B.A. No.8208 of 2024. The allegation against the petitioner is that he kicked the husband of the informant and snatched gold chain from his neck while he was unconscious. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as has been stated in paragraph no.17 of the present anticipatory bail application. He, however, undertakes to co-operate in the investigation. Hence, he may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
3. Learned A.P.P. opposes the petitioner's prayer for anticipatory bail.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering that the aforesaid co-accused persons have already been granted anticipatory bail by a Bench of this Court, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner, above named, on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, in event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within three weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount, each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad, in connection with Dhanbad P.S. Case no.236 of 2024, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S., 2023.
