17-11-2017 Heard Sri Sidharth Harsh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Rajendra Prasad Nat, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.

The sole petitioner, who is in custody since 14-09-2017 in Sasaram (Muffasil) P.S. Case No. 640 of 2017 registered for offence under Sections 461 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the very outset, has drawn my attention to statement made in paragraph - 3 of the petition to show that petitioner is having clean antecedent. By way of referring to F.I.R., learned counsel for the petitioner submits that informant himself has admitted that in his school, theft was committed on 15-04-2017, however; a written information was submitted by the informant on 11-05-2017

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.55460 of 2017(2) dt.17-11-2017 2/2 without any explanation for delayed filing of F.I.R. From the school, certain articles without specific identification were shown to be stolen and thereafter, petitioner was arrested on an accusation that hand pump, which was shown to be stolen from the school, was found in the premises of the petitioner. Besides hearing learned counsel for the parties, I have also perused the materials on record. On perusal of the F.I.R., it is evident that the informant had admitted that theft was committed on 15-04-2017, however; a plea was taken that the informant had himself conducted an enquiry and thereafter, on 11-05-2017, he filed a written report to the police.

Considering the nature of accusation, clean antecedent as well as period of custody, let the petitioner namely Ramayan Ram be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram in connection with Sasaram (Muffasil) P.S. Case No. 640 of 2017.
