====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 04-11-2020 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, requiring social distancing.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Atul Chandra, the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Suppi P.S. Case No. 201 of 2019 for the offence registered under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding three unknown miscreants having looted mobile sets of the informant and his brother as well as a cash amount of Rs. 2500/- on pistol point. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27879 of 2020(2) dt.04-11-2020 2/3 present case and he is languishing in custody since 24.02.2020. It is submitted that the petitioner has been roped in the present case merely on suspicion and moreover similarly situated coaccused person has already been granted bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 6407 of 2020. Lastly, it is submitted that neither any recovery has been made from the petitioner herein nor any T.I. Parade has been held so as to connect the petitioner with the alleged crime. Per contra, the learned counsel for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the parity of the case of the petitioner with that of the co-accused person, who has already been granted bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court apart from the fact that neither any recovery has been made from the possession of the petitioner nor he has been put on T.I. Parade, so as to connect him with the alleged crime, I deem it fit and proper to direct for release of the petitioner herein on regular bail.

Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-
