RANCHI, India, May 2 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on April 2:

I.A. No.3962 of 2025

Heard the parties.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this interlocutory application has been filed with a prayer for early hearing of the instant Anticipatory Bail Application.

Since the hearing of this Anticipatory Bail Application is taken up today, hence, this interlocutory application is disposed of being infructuous.

A.B.A. No.6831 of 2024

Heard the parties.

Apprehending his arrest in connection with Gidhour P.S. Case No.50 of 2024 instituted for the offences punishable under Section 17(c)/21(b)/ 27(a)/28/29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the supplier of brown sugar and only brown sugar of 2 grams which is in small quantity was recovered from the co-accused persons. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. Drawing attention of this court towards para-18 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.

Learned Spl.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from the date of the order and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.10,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Principal District & Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, (NDPS) Act, Chatra in connection with Gidhour P.S. Case No.50 of 2024 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
