Case No.27 of 2018 has been registered; consequent upon the said being forwarded to police. It is next submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to pay Rs. 10,000/- each as ad interim victim compensation to the informant without prejudice to their defence in this case and undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the above named petitioners be given the privilege of 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 a demand draft of Rs. 10,000/- each as ad interim victim compensation in favour of informant-Gudiya Das and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M. 1^st Class, Giridih, in connection with Hirodih P.S. Case No.09 of 2018 (G.R. No. 207 of 2018) with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under section 438 (2) Cr.
