Mr.Pushpa Sinha ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 18-01-2020 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Forbesganj PS case no. 919 of 2018 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 457, 380 of Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding theft having been committed by unknown miscreants in the house of the informant. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that neither any recovery has been made from the house of the petitioner, as far as the stolen articles are concerned nor the petitioner has got any complicity in the matter and he has merely been made an accused in the present case on account of confessional statement made by co-accused person namely Md. Naushad. It is further submitted that the petitioner is an accused in one other case, however

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3077 of 2020(2) dt.18-01-2020 2/2 in the said case also, the petitioner has been made an accused on the basis of confessional statement of the said Md. Naushad, however the petitioner is on bail in the said case.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner coupled with the fact that no incriminating stolen articles have been recovered from the house of the petitioner, I deem it fit and appropriate to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order, is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Araria in connection with Forbesganj PS case no. 919 of 2019 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of Code of Criminal Procedure.
