: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner For the State : Mr. Amit Kr. Choubey, Advocate : Mr. Chandan Kumar, Advocate : Ms. Ruby Pandey, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.04 Dated- 09/01/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail in connection with Kandi P.S. Case No.84 of 2024 registered under Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and Section 12 of the Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in storage of bovine animals for slaughtering them illegally. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. 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 privileges 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. 20,000/- 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 J.M. 1st Class, Garhwa, in connection with Kandi P.S. Case No.84 of 2024 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 will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
