IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A. B. A. No. 7572 of 2024 ----- Ranjan Rajwar @ Ranjan Kumar, S/o Suresh Rajwar, R/o Village-Khalakthambi, P. O. -Meghatari, P. S. & District- Koderma. .......... Petitioner. -Versus- The State of Jharkhand .......... Opp. Party. ----- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Randhir Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Prabir Kr. Chatterjee, Spl. P. P. ----- Order No. 04 Date: 18. 12. 2024 1. The petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 659 of 2021 for the offences punishable under Sections 26(e)(g)/41/42 of the Indian Forest (Bihar Amendment) Act, 1989 and Sections 27/29/51 of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, has prayed for grant of anticipatory bail. 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 in the Offence Report.
As per the allegation, the petitioner and co-accused Manu were involved in illegal mining of mica at Khalakthambi Mines situated under Koderma Reserved Forest. One motorcycle bearing registration no. JH-02AE- 3064, one battery and four sacks filled with 100 kg of mica were also allegedly seized from the place of occurrence. The petitioner has no concern with the seized motorcycle, battery and mica. In fact, he has been implicated in this case on hearsay statements of local people. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been stated in paragraph no. 15 of the present anticipatory bail application. He, however, undertakes to co-operate in the trial. Hence, he may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. 3. Learned Spl. P. P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the materials available on record, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. 5.
Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, in the 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 st learned Judicial Magistrate 1 Class, Koderma in connection with Complaint Case No. 659 of 2021 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
