JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 01-12-2020 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Nand Kumar, the learned APP for the State. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Madhubani Town P.S. Case No. 175 of 2019, corresponding to CRI No. 857 of 2019, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 457 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding the informant having gone to Delhi along with his wife for treatment of his grandson and during the course of his absence, unknown miscreants had broken the lock of the house of the informant and committed theft.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26379 of 2020(3) dt.01-12-2020 2/3 The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case and he is languishing in custody since 20.07.2019. The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that the petitioner is not named in the FIR and he has been falsely implicated in the present case merely on suspicion.

Per contra, the learned APP has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the leaned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the materials available on record as also in the case diary, this Court finds that ample materials are available on record to show the complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime and moreover, the petitioner is a veteran criminal inasmuch as he is an accused in eight other criminal cases, hence, I do not deem it fit and proper to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner herein, thus, the present petition stands

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26379 of 2020(3) dt.01-12-2020 3/3 dismissed.
