JUSTICE CHANDRA SHEKHAR JHA ORAL ORDER 15-12-2022 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. Let the defect(s), if any, be removed within a period of four weeks from today.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Charpokhari P.S. Case No. 80 of 2022 registered for the offence under Section 414 of the Indian Penal Code.

The accused/petitioner is named in the F.I.R. and is in custody since 04.05.2022.

The allegation against the petitioner is to have in possession of one stolen motorcycle with a description as available in seizure list.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that due to misunderstanding of the fact, as petitioner was standing near to motorcycle, which was parked on road, the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.44658 of 2022(2) dt.15-12-2022 2/2 petitioner was implicated in this case. It is also submitted that seizure list is disputed being not supported by independent witnesses rather by Bihar Home Guard personnels. While concluding the argument, it is submitted that petitioner is a man of clean antecedent and moreover, investigation of this case has been completed, for which, charge-sheet has already been submitted, as such, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence.

Learned APP, appearing on behalf of the State, opposes the prayer of bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances as mentioned above, as seizure list appears doubtful being not supported by independent witnesses, where, petitioner is in custody since 04.05.2022 coupled with the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted, let the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail in connection with Charpokhari P.S.
