====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DR. ANSHUMAN ORAL ORDER 19-09-2022 Let the defect(s), if any, be removed within two weeks from today.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.
The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Raxaul P.S. Case No. 165 of 2021, lodged under Sections 379, 411, 414, 467, 468, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code. As per the F.I.R., the prosecution story is that the Ambulance of informant is become trace-less from Sitamarhi. Since there was a G.P.S. system installed in his vehicle, so the informant got the correct location of his Ambulance. The informant reached there then he found that his Ambulance is in a Garage from where the petitioner was arrested. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35014 of 2022(2) dt.19-09-2022 2/2 petitioner is not the owner of Garage, rather he is the mechanic there. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that petitioner is in custody since 03.04.2021, his antecedent is clean and charge sheet has already been submitted in this case. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that it is rare when a theft vehicle used to be recovered only by virtue of G.P.S. system and involvement of petitioner cannot be denied.
In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present, but the Trial Court shall release the petitioner on bail after framing of charge on its condition, so that he may not evade his appearance during trial. With this observation, the bail application stands rejected.
