4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not named in the First Information Report and he has falsely been implicated in the present case on the basis of confessional statement made by co-accused Sandeep Kumar from whose house some looted articles have been recovered. He next submits that no incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and/or from the house belonging to him. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the materials of record, including the impugned order.
6. From perusal of the impugned, it transpires that the coaccused Sandeep Kumar, in his confessional statement, has disclosed the name of the petitioner as his associate. Recovery of looted articles is there from Sandeep Kumar. The confessional statement of Sandeep Kumar coupled

7. Considering the aforesaid, I do not find any reason to differ with the findings arrived at by learned Additional Sessions Judge V, Gaya, inasmuch as the case is under investigation and custodial interrogation of the petitioner may be necessary, accordingly, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
8. This application is, accordingly, rejected. (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) ashwani/- U T
