RANCHI, India, July 19 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on Jun 18:
This anticipatory bail application under Section(s) 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Section(s) 420 IPC and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act.
Heard the parties at length and had gone through the documents, annexed along with this application.
Opportunity was given to the State to oppose the bail, which the State availed and opposed.
The informant intended to purchase a car and asked for help to this petitioner. The petitioner stated that he can give mobile number of proposed seller. The petitioner provided the mobile number to the informant. The informant contacted the seller and there is transaction between the seller and the informant, but the informant was cheated as the vehicle was not given.
From the materials on record, I find only material against this petitioner is that he only provided the mobile number to the informant.
Considering the nature of allegation, I am inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the court below within four weeks from today and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the court below is directed to enlarge him on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned JM, Ranchi, in connection with Chutia P.S. Case No. 102 of 2019 subject to condition that one of the bailers should be close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his/her name or in the name of his/her ancestors in which he/she is having share and to that effect, he/she has to file an affidavit before the Trial Court indicating his/her share in the property.
