2. The petitioner has filed the instant application for grant of regular bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 379 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. As per allegation, co-accused Shambhu Sah came at the door of informant and inquired about purchasing his Bolero bearing Reg. No. BR-05P-7809 and took a test drive. It is further alleged that after few days, informant did not find his vehicle on his door. Informant
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22041 of 2025(2) dt.29-04-2025 2/3 has strong suspicion that co-accused Shambhu Sah has stolen his vehicle. Allegedly the petitioner has been caught by the police with the aforesaid vehicle. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. During course of argument, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner was arrested with the said bolero vehicle for which Pachpakari P.S. Case No. 374 of 2018 was instituted against him in which he is on bail. For the same occurrence, two cases has been lodged against the petitioner, which is not proper in the eye of law. Moreover, the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 15.12.2024.
Learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for Bail.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on
