Anil Kumar Choudhary, J

Heard the parties.

Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Mandu (Kuju) P.S. Case No.295 of 2022 registered under sections 414/34 of the Indian Penal Code, under Section 30 of the Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act and under Section 33 of the Indian Forest Act.

The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in transporting illegally extracted coal in an Alto Car. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is neither the owner nor the driver of the said vehicle. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.

Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the above named petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.30,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Ramgarh, in connection with Mandu (Kuju) P.S. Case No.295 of 2022 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under section 438 (2) Cr. P.C.
