Petitioner seeks bail in connection with Wazirganj P.S. Case No. 207 of 2016 for offences punishable under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution case, as lodged by the informant, is that he being the driver of the truck along with Khalasi was going for loading cement and while on the way, two persons riding a Marshal vehicle intercepted the truck and took the informant and the Khalasi in the Marshal vehicle where four persons were also sitting.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42898 of 2017 (3) dt.17-10-2017 2/3 surfaced on the confessional statement of one Shahid and Khalid Naim which is evident from paragraph-33 of the case diary and that the vehicle has been recovered on the confession of the said co-accused. He submits that the said confession of the co-accused was taken in another case and just because the petitioner has a criminal antecedent, he has been made accused in the present case. He submits that nothing has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and that charge-sheet has already been submitted and there is no allegation of tampering of the prosecution witnesses by the petitioner. The petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 20.07.2017 However, learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail stating therein that the petitioner is a habitual offender and as many as four cases are pending against him three for similar offence.

Considering the facts and circumstances and the materials on record, let petitioner, above named, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate 1st, Gaya in connection with Wazirganj P.S. Case No. 207 of 2016, subject to the conditions that:
