4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. He further submits that the First Information Report has been registered against unknown and the name of the petitioner transpired in this case on the basis of the confessional statement of coaccused Md. Aziz Khan @ Goltan, who has disclosed that the active involvement of the petitioners in the theft of the motorcycle.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have perused the material available on record, including the impugned order.
6. From perusal of the impugned order, it transpires that coaccused Aziz Khan @ Goltan, in his confessional statement, has disclosed the active involvement of the petitioners. The petitioners have criminal antecedents of similar nature of offence.
7. Considering the above, I do not find any reason to differ with the findings arrived at by the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Bhagalpur, inasmuch as the case is under investigation, wherein the custodial interrogation of the petitioners may be necessary based upon the material
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18929 of 2026(2) dt.16-04-2026 3/3 collected by the police during course of investigation. As such, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
8. This application is, accordingly, dismissed. (Anil Kumar Sinha, J.) Prabhakar Anand/- U √ T √
