IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A. B. A. No. 7335 of 2024 ----- Raju Munda, S/o Amulya Munda, Village Kashaphaliya, Gurushol, P. S. Chakulia, District East Singhbhum. .......... Petitioner. -Versus- The State of Jharkhand .......... Opp. Party. ----- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Pran Pranay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, APP ----- Order No. 04 Date: 09. 12. 2024 1. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 303(2) & 317(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Sections 4 & 21 of the Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957; Rules 4 & 54 of the Jharkhand Minor Minerals Concession Rules, 2004; and Rules 7, 9 & 13 of the Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged.
The petitioner is the driver of truck (Hywa) bearing registration no. JH-05DQ-6098 from which there is alleged recovery of about 700 CFT illegal sand. In fact, there has been no such recovery from the said truck. False implication of the petitioner would be evident from the fact that the seizure list prepared in this regard does not bear signature of any independent witness. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as has been stated in paragraph no. 11 of the present anticipatory bail application. He, however, undertakes to co-operate in ongoing investigation of the case. Hence, he may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail 3. Learned A. P. P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner, above named, on anticipatory bail.
Accordingly, the petitioner, in event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within three weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount, each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghatshila, in connection with Galudih P. S. Case No. 45 of 2024, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the B. N. S. S. , 2023. (Rajesh Shankar, J. ) Sanjay/ -2- A. B. A. No. 7335 of 2024
