The petitioner seeks bail in Bakhtiyarpur P.S. Case No. 373 of 2019, registered for the offence punishable under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code.
As per the FIR, 10-12 persons armed with Katta committed robbery in the house of informant and took away gold, silver ornaments, cash and watches.
It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner is not named in the FIR.

Learned APP however, vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that looted article has been recovered from house of this petitioner.
Considering the facts aforesaid and the fact that looted article has been recovered from house of this petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above-named on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
