Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Pakur (Town) P.S. Case No.16 of 2026 instituted under Sections 189(2), 189(3), 189(4), 189(5), 190, 191(2), 191(3), 221, 222, 132, 285, 126(2), 326(g), 324(3), 324(5), 62, 109(1) of the B.N.S., 2023, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that consequent upon the death of a person in a road accident, the petitioner being the member of an unlawful assembly and being armed with the deadly weapons, raised objectionable slogans against the Government and blocked the road and forcibly closed the nearby shops. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that the co-accused, with similar allegations, has already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 11.05.2026 passed in A.B.A. No. 2381 of 2026. It is also submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-08 of the instant Anticipatory Bail Application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner also undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant of the case or any of his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.

Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within three weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.5,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Pakur in connection with Pakur (Town) P.S. Case No.16 of 2026 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the informant of the case or any of his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
