3. According to prosecution case, three miscreants tied the hands and legs of the informant and took his mobile phone and cash kept in his pocket and fled away with his city Rickshaw.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26247 of 2026(2) dt.20-04-2026 2/3 present case. Initially the petitioner was not named in the FIR and his name has been transpired during investigation on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused, namely, Lala Tiwari who happens to be the son of the petitioner. Apart from that it appears from the FIR that the date of occurrence is 24.12.2025 but the present FIR has been instituted on 26.12.2025 i.e., after two days without giving any explanation of the said delay and except the aforesaid, no other material has come during investigation which suggest the involvement of the petitioner in the present occurrence. He further submits that the police after investigation submitted the charge sheet against the petitioner. The petitioner is in custody since 27.12.2025.
5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner on the ground that petitioner carries four criminal antecedents other than the present one but fairly submits that he is on bail in three cases and one case is pending for consideration before the competent court of law.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned CJM,

iii. And further condition that the court below shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at any stage it is found that the petitioner has concealed his criminal antecedent, the court below shall take step for cancellation of bail bond of the petitioner.
