Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party -------- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A. P. P. ------ 2/11. 12. 2025 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of Petitioners and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Barhi P. S. Case No. 243 of 2025, for the offences registered under sections 281, 317(5), 3(5) of B. N. S. & section 30 (ii) of Coal Mines Act, pending in the Court of learned S. D. J. M. , Hazaribag. 3.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that Petitioner No. 1 is the owner of the truck and the allegation are made that four tonns of coal was illegally loaded. He next submits that so far petitioner No. 2 is concerned, his name has come in the confessional statement of the apprehended co-accused. He also submits that petitioner No. 2 is nothing to do with the coal. He next submits that there is no criminal antecedent so far petitioner No. 1 is concerned and there is one criminal antecedent against petitioner No. 2, in which he has already been granted bail. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that illegally coal was loaded. 5. Considering that petitioner No. 1 is the owner of the truck and the allegations are made that four tonns of coal was loaded and the name of petitioner No. 2 has come on the confessional statement of apprehended co-accused.
In course of argument, it has been pointed out that in another case, in which petitioner No. 2 was accused, he has already been granted bail. In the attending facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, the petitioners above named are directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from the date of receipt of the order and on the event of their surrender / arrest, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Twenty-Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount of each to the satisfaction of learned S. D. J. M. , Hazaribag, in connection with Barhi P. S. Case No. 243 of 2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 7. This Anticipatory Bail Application is accordingly allowed and disposed of. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J. ) 11. 12. 2025 R. Kumar
