The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Mufassil Police Station Case No. 53 of 2020, registered for the offence punishable under Section 392/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution story, as per the First Information Report, is that while the informant was driving the tempo, he was intercepted by two unknown persons, who stopped the tempo, assaulted the informant, fled away with the tempo and also snatched the mobile of the informant.

Having heard learned Counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record and the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 14.02.2020, having no criminal antecedent of similar nature, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

This application is, accordingly, allowed.
