A vehicle was intercepted and there was a recovery of three buffaloes and two calves (Para). The 'Chowkidar' named the escaped person as this petitioner. Accordingly, the FIR.
4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.54845 of 2024(2) dt.28-08-2024 2/3 only due to enmity, the Chowkidar has implicated him because he had criminal antecedent of the same nature. He is neither the owner of the vehicle nor the driver but he has been dragged and the last submission is that without accepting the allegation and/or the outcome of the present petition, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is ready to pay Rs. 10,000/- to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund.
5. Learned APP for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail submitting that he has criminal antecedent of the same nature.
6. Taking into account the submissions put forward by the parties as also the fact that he does not own the vehicle nor is/was the driver, this Court is inclined to grant him the anticipatory bail with conditions subject to payment of Rs. 10,000/- to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund.
