Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Gomia P.S. Case
no.230 of 2010 corresponding to G.R. No.1162 of 2010 for the offence under
Sections 413/414/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 33 of the Indian Forest
Act.
Petitioner has been named in the FIR and this case relates to illegal mining
of the coal. One truck was apprehended and the driver Chandu Choudhary
disclosed that the petitioner was one of the persons who loaded the coal on the
truck.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a labour
and pressed for anticipatory bail.
Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that
the petitioner was involved in the offence.
In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this is not a fit case for
anticipatory bail. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner,
Basudeo Mahto is rejected. If the petitioner surrenders before the court below
and prays for regular bail, the defence of the petitioner shall be considered by the
court below and necessary order shall be passed in accordance with law without
being prejudiced by this order of rejection.
