The petitioner has filed the instant application for grant of regular bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution case in nutshell is that petitioner and other co-accused persons have hired J.C.B machine from the informant's son on rent and thereafter the co-accused persons in connivance with the petitioner have sold the alleged J.C.B. machine which was later on seized by the Daudpur police station.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.55050 of 2022(2) dt.16-02-2023 2/3 It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. Petitioner has neither taken the alleged J.C.B machine nor did he work with it. There is no specific allegation against the petitioner rather the allegation levelled against the petitioner is general and omnibus. Moreover, the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 22.07.2022. A statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for Bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail in connection with Daudpur P.S. Case No. 112 of 2017 on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with
