Order No.02 Dated- 21.01.2022

Heard the parties through video conferencing.

Learned counsel for the petitioner personally undertakes to

remove the defects as pointed out by the stamp reporter within

two weeks after resumption of the Court in physical mode.

In view of the personal undertaking of the learned counsel for

the petitioner, the defects pointed out by the stamp reporter are

ignored for the present.

Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court

for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with

Jadugora P.S. Case No.56 of 2021 registered under sections 417/

465/471/468/419/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was using the

fake plate number in his car. It is further submitted that the

allegations against the petitioner are all false and petitioner has no

criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 of

the anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that because

of some wrong painting of the number plate, the said mismatch

occurred. It is then submitted that undisputedly, the seized car has

been registered with the District Transport Authority vide

registration no.JH05AY/2015. 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 Addl. 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.10,000/- 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.,

Ghatsila, in connection with Jadugora P.S. Case No.56 of 2021 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 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

subject to the conditions laid down under section 438 (2) Cr. P.C.
