Mr.A.G ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK KUMAR PANDEY ORAL ORDER 18-10-2022 Let the defect(s), as pointed out by the office, be removed within a period of four weeks from today. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State .

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Bodh Gaya P.S. Case No. 401 of 2021 registered for the offences punishable under Section 414, 467, 468, 471, 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per prosecution case, petitioner was caught red handed with a stolen car which was driven by him. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody since 16.10.2021 and bears criminal antecedent of three cases. He further submits that petitioner has no concern with the alleged seized vehicle. He further submits

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.71382 of 2021(3) dt.18-10-2022 2/2 that petitioner is quite innocent and falsely implicated in the case.

The learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that there is direct allegation against the petitioner that he was caught red handed driving stolen car.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegation levelled against the petitioner as well as material available on record, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the present petitioner is hereby rejected.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt of this order. If there is no substantial progress in the proceeding of trial within stipulated period, petitioner may renew the prayer of bail.
