Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State.

Petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32115 of 2021(3) dt.21-07-2022 2/2 for the offence punishable under Section 457, 380, 411 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, some unknown thieves committed theft of 22 LED tvs and 48 pieces of suitcase trolley from the godown of informant.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners are not named in the FIR. The name of petitioners transpired in this case during the course of investigation. No incriminating article has been recovered from the possession of petitioners. Petitioners have got clean antecedent.

Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submitted that looted articles were recovered from the house of these petitioners. Considering the nature of accusation and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
