Heard learned counsel for the parties.
Petitioner is accused in connection with Barhi P.S. Case No.159 of 2011
corresponding to G.R. Case No.1606 of 2011 registered under Sections 414 & 120-B of
the Indian Penal Code and Section 20(ii) of the M.M.R.D. Act, pending in the Court of
learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh.
It reveals that a truck bearing registration No.JH02L 0334 belonging to the
petitioner was seized by the police while it was carrying 30 metric tonnes steam coal
without valid paper.
It is submitted that it is the fault of the driver who did not produce the paper
before the police at the time of his arrest. As a matter of fact the truck was being
plied with valid document.
Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail.
Since the truck belonging to the petitioner was found carrying 30 metric
tonnes of coal without valid paper, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner, above
named, on anticipatory bail.
Accordingly, this anticipatory bail application stands rejected. Petitioner is
directed to surrender in the court below within three weeks for seeking regular bail
which will be disposed of on the day of surrender itself by the Court below without
being prejudiced with this order considering the fact that driver has been granted
bail.
