The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code.

It is a case of robbery in Muthoot Finance Company and taking away gold items weighing 55.777 kgs of gold and cash of Rs. 50,000/- by the unknown criminals. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner was not named in the F.I.R. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and co-accused Rama Shankar Rai who has taken the name of the petitioner in his confessional

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32727 of 2020(7) dt.22-03-2022 2/2 statement was on inimical term with the petitioner from before.

Learned A.P.P has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submitted that from perusal of para 182 of the case diary, it appears that the petitioner was the person who actively helped the accused persons in getting the gold sold in the market and handed over rupees thirty three lakhs to the Dharmendra Rai. He was introduced to the Dharmendra Rai by Ramashankar Rai. They all actively participated in disposing of the looted gold. Considering the fact that petitioner was one of the facilitators who helped the accused persons in disposing of the gold item through his jewellery shop, this Court is not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner stands rejected.
