Mr. Narsingh Tanti, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 27-01-2021 Heard Ms. Ranjana Shrivastava, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Narsingh Tanti, the learned A.P.P. appearing for the State.

The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Maniyari P.S. Case No. 139 of 2018 for the offence punishable under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding unknown miscreants having intercepted the informant while he was coming on his motorcycle after collecting money of his company, where-after they had snatched his bag, containing a sum of Rs. 1,34, 287/- and some other articles.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is languishing in custody since 28.05.2020. The learned counsel for the petitioner while referring to

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36152 of 2020(2) dt.27-01-2021 2/2 paragraph nos. 7 and 9 of the present petition, has stated that neither the looted money/ articles have been recovered from the petitioner nor test identification parade has been held so as to connect the petitioner with the alleged crime.

Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for regular bail, made by the petitioner.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that neither the looted money/ articles have been recovered from the petitioner nor any test identification parade has been held so as to connect the petitioner with the alleged crime, I deem it fit and proper to direct for release of the petitioner on regular bail.

Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on regular bail on furnishing bail-bonds of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Muzaffarpur in connection with Maniyari P.S. Case No. 139 of 2018.
