7/ 12.01.2016

. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Jaraikela P.S. Case No.08 of 2013, corresponding to G.R. No. 379 of 2013, for the alleged offence under Sections 379, 411 of the Indian Penal Code, Sections 4/ 21 of the M.M.R.D. Act and Section 37 of the Pollution Act.

The police case was instituted on the basis of the F.I.R. filed by the Block Development Officer, Manoharpur.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the other co-accused has been granted bail by order dated 6.1.2015 in A.B.A. No. 522 of 2014, as it was found that the offence was made out only under M.M.D.R. Act and Air Pollution Act and for the offence under these Acts, the prosecution has to be launched on the basis of complaint.

In the facts of this case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, Manoj Kumar Singh. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event of his arrest / surrender, the petitioner named above shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Porahat at Chaibasa, in connection with, Jaraikela P.S. Case No.08 of 2013, corresponding to G.R. No. 379 of 2013, subject to conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure .
