Judgment
Heard the parties through video conferencing. Learned counsel for the petitioners personally undertakes to remove the defects as pointed out by the stamp reporter within two weeks after the lockdown period is over.
In view of the personal undertaking of the learned counsel for the petitioners, the defects pointed out by the stamp reporter are ignored for the present.
Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Jarmundi P.S. Case No.88 of 2020 registered under sections 341/ 323/325/307/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners along with the co-accused persons attempted to murder the informant and Lal Mohan. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and the alleged injury sustained by the victims are simple in nature. It is then submitted that consequent upon a road accident there was a scuffle, hence this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to jointly pay Rs.15,000/- as ad interim victim compensation to the informant without prejudice to their defence in this case and undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case and also undertakes that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privilege 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 petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on jointly depositing a demand draft of Rs.15,000/- as ad interim victim compensation in favour of informant and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Dumka, in connection with Jarmundi P.S. Case No.88 of 2020 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile number and a copy of their Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and other conditions laid down under section 438 (2) Cr. P.C.
In case, the petitioners deposit the ad interim victim compensation amount, the court below is directed to issue notice to the informant and hand over the said demand draft to him, after proper identification.
