The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Bhagwanpur (Vaishali) P.S. Case No.171 of 2017 registered under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code.

Regard being had to the confessional statement made by a co-accused pursuant to which recovery of stolen articles was made from the godown of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him pre-arrest bail.

Accordingly, the application for grant of pre-arrest bail is rejected.

In case the petitioner surrenders and seeks bail, the same

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.546 of 2018 (2) dt.11-01-2018 2/2 shall be considered on its own merits without being prejudiced in any manner by this order.
