The petitioner is accused in connection with Rajpur P.S. Case No. 111 of 2015 registered under Sections 135 of the Electricity Act pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar.
Earlier prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 16.12.2019 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 78337 of 2019, as contained in Annexure-5 to the bail application.
Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner in innocent and has falsely been implicated in the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 16327 of 2020(3) dt.29-09-2021 2/2 present case. Further he submits that petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged and has no criminal antecedent.
Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State opposed the prayer of the petitioner by contending that petitioner is named in the first information report and there is direct allegation of theft of electrical energy by hooking in L.T. Line against him. Hence, the petitioner does not deserve to be enlarged on anticipatory bail.
Having considered the above facts and circumstances of the case as also on perusal of records, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. shailendra/- (Arvind Srivastava, J) U T
