Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Addl. P.P. for the State. The learned counsel for the petitioner s submits that the allegations against the petitioners is that petitioners are the owner- cum-driver of the vehicles (Trucks), which were seized for transporting illegally extracted coal and as the petitioners allegedly could not produce the mining challan. It is, further, submitted that the petitioners are no way concerned with the seized coal and they are only the transporters. As mentioned in paragraph 18 of the petition the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. He further submits that the co- accused with similar allegations has already been granted anticipatory bail by this court vide order dated 02.08.2017 passed in ABA No. 4392 of 2017. The petitioners are ready and willing to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, the petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a f it case where the petitioners be admitted to anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of four weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs. 20,000/- each and furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,00 0/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate -1 st Class, Ramgarh, in connection with Gola P.S.
