In spite of valid service of notice, nobody appears on behalf of informant/opposite party no. 2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence under Sections 406, 379/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, this petitioner, being supervisor, with the help of one security guard Arjun Mandal committed theft in godown and took away 1600 bags of maize for the purpose of selling.

It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that it was this petitioner, who gave this information to the informant. There was no shortage of bags of maize in the said godown. Earlier, on
