Heard learned counsel for petitioners and the learned counsel appearing through Video Conferencing (V.C.) for the State.
The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Sahibganj (M) P.S. Case No.18 of 2025, for offence registered under section 317(2), (5), 3(5) of the BNS, 2023, section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and sections 12 and 13 of Jharkhand Bovine Animals Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005, pending in court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj.
Learned counsel for petitioners submits that the petitioners have nothing to do with the bovine animals which were being carried in the vehicle in question. He then submits that one Arif Hussain has been apprehended on the spot and he has taken the name of the petitioners saying that the petitioners were accompanying with the said Arif Hussain. He next submits that the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph no.12.
Learned State counsel appearing through Video Conferencing opposes prayer and submits that illegally the bovine animals were being carried on the said vehicle.
Considering that the petitioners are the owner and driver of the vehicle on which the bovine animals were being carried and further the petitioners have got no criminal antecedents as aforesaid and the name of the petitioners have been taken by one Arif Hussain, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioners.
Accordingly, petitioners, above named, are hereby directed to surrender before learned court within three weeks from today, and in event of their surrender/arrest, petitioners, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj, in connection with Sahibganj (M) P.S. Case No.18 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under section 482(2) of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023.
