It is next submitted that Gopalpur P.S. Case No. 141 of 2025 was instituted by the police with an allegation that the pistol of the SHO was snatched. It is submitted that pistol was recovered from the house of Anwar Sah. It is next submitted that similarly situated co-accused moved before this Court seeking
3/4 anticipatory bail by filing Criminal Miscellaneous No. 48438 of 2025 and the same was allowed by an order dated 06.08.2025 passed by a learned Co-ordinate Bench. The learned counsel, thus, based on parity, seeks anticipatory bail. It is also submitted that petitioners will not abscond rather will co-operate in the investigation to prove their innocence.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.
6. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the petitioners above-named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned trial court within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court where the case is pending/successor court in connection with Gopalpur P.S. Case No. 140 of 2025 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the BNSS.
7. However, it is made clear that in the event if the Investigating Officer of the case files an application before the learned Trial Court bringing to its notice that petitioners despite giving assurance to this Court are not co-operating in the
4/4 investigation, in that event the learned Trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioners.
8. Let a copy of this order be sent to the concerned police station through the learned Trial Court.
9. Accordingly, the instant anticipatory bail application stands allowed.
