Agrawal, Spl.P.P. --------- 04/27.09.2022 Heard Mr. K. S. Nanda, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. P. D. Agrawal, learned Spl.P.P. for the State. The petitioners have prayed for grant of anticipatory bail, as they are apprehending their arrest in connection with Basia P. S. Case No. 62 of 2022. It has been alleged that two Hywas illegally loaded with sand were apprehended by the police. Both the petitioners are the owners of the seized Hywas. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the Hywas were entrusted to the driver and the same were in their custody. Learned counsel for the petitioners adds that the petitioners do not have any criminal antecedent. Regard being had to the above, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Therefore, the petitioners, named above, are directed to surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and on such surrender, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gumla in connection with Basia P. S. Case No. 62 of 2022, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This application stands allowed. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) Umesh/-
