====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 24-09-2020 The present petition has been taken up for consideration through the mode of Video Conferencing in view of the prevailing situation on account of COVID-19 Pandemic. The present petition has been filed by way of second attempt at the behest of the petitioner for grant of regular bail, inasmuch as his earlier prayer for bail in connection with Itarhi PS case no. 245 of 2018 under Section 392, 412, 414 of Indian Penal Code was rejected by this Court vide order dated 12.12.2019, passed in Cr. Misc. no. 80320 of 2019. The allegation, as per the FIR, is that on 13.09.2018, the informant along with others, after taking out a sum of Rs. 1 lac from the "Madhya Bihar Gramin Bank, Itarhi" were going back to the village and when they reached at Ahra more, three miscreants came there from behind on a motorcycle and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22993 of 2020(2) dt.24-09-2020 2/2 snatched the plastic bag from the hand of the informant, in which the aforesaid sum of money was kept, whereafter they had fled away.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and deposition of the witnesses in the on-going trial would show that the petitioner is not having any complicity in the present case. It is further submitted that the petitioner is languishing in custody since 12.10.2018.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court finds that there has been no change in the circumstance so as to warrant re-consideration of the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail and moreover, the trial is going on, hence I do not find any merit in the present petition, thus the same stands dismissed.
