So far these petitioners are concerned, it is evident from Paragraph-59 of the case diary that they were arrested in connection with Danapur P. S.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.51699 of 2016 (03) dt.20-12-2016 have been remanded in this case. It is also evident from Paragraph-83 of the case diary that call details were obtained relating to these two petitioners along with others, but those information did not connect complicity of these petitioners in the background of the fact that neither these call details connect the petitioners in association with other accused, who might have indulged during course of occurrence nor the recovered mobile set been the theft property. Furthermore, as is evident from Paragraph-92 of the case diary, chargesheet had already been submitted, but without having these petitioners put on T. I.

Accordingly, petitioners, Shahrukh Ansari and Pramod Kumar are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad in connection with Aurangabad (Mufassil) P. S. Case no.125 of 2016.
