Judgment
The State of Jharkhand CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ... … Opposite Party ----- For the Petitioners For the State : Mr. Devesh Ajmani, Advocate : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A.P.P. ----- 03/07.12.2024 The petitioners apprehending their arrest for the offence punishable under Section 12(1) of the Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005, have prayed for grant of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case and have not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. They have been roped in the present case on the alleged confessional statement of co-accused Sheikh Hamid – the driver of Tata Magic bearing registration no. JH-22F-3050 from which there is alleged recovery of 100 pieces skin of bovine animals. As per the said confessional statement, the petitioners were involved in illegal trade of skin of bovine animals. Except the alleged disclosure made by the said co-accused, there is no other material to connect the petitioners with the alleged offence. Similarly situated co-accused Sheikh Yasin, Shamsher Ali and Ahmad Ali as well as Minhaj Ahmad (the owner of the said vehicle) have already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide orders dated 26.11.2024 and
02.12.2024 passed in A.B.A No. 7158/2024 and A.B.A No. respectively. The petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been stated in paragraph no. 16 of the present application. The petitioners also undertake to co-operate in the ongoing investigation. Hence, they may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Learned A.P.P opposes the petitioners’ prayer for anticipatory bail.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the materials available on record, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the petitioners above named, in the event of their arrest/surrender within three weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Jamshedpur, in connection with Kowali P.S. Case No. 50/2024, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,
2023. Manish (Rajesh Shankar, J.) A.B.A. No. 7636 of 2024 2
