Anil Kumar Choudhary, J
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Bistupur P.S. Case No.236 of 2019 instituted under Sections 272 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 47
(a) of the Excise 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 owner of a vehicle from which illicit sprit was recovered. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is not the owner of the said vehicle and the ownership of the said vehicle still stands in the name of Ram Prabodh Singh. It is also submitted that the petitioner had neither any concern with the said sprit transported in the said vehicle nor had he any knowledge that sprit was being transported in the said vehicle. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate 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 of learned C.J.M., Jamshedpur within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.20,000/-(Rupees twenty thousand) 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 C.J.M., Jamshedpur in connection with Bistupur P.S. Case No.236 of 2019 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 438(2) of the Code of Criminal
Procedure.
