Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Ghatshila P.S. Case No.41 of 2023 registered under sections 379/ 411/34 of the Indian Penal Code, under section 54 of JMMC Rules, 2004, section 4/21 of MMDR Act and under Section 7/9/13 of the Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rule, 2017.
The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the owner of the Hywa Truck which was seized by police for transporting illegally excavated sand.
