• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Kunkuri, District Jashpur Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For Applicants : Shri J.K.Saxena, Advocate For Respondent /State : Shri AnilTripathi, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 24/02/2020 The applicants have filed this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as they are in custody in connection with Crime No. 150/2019 registered at police station Kunkuri, District Jashpur (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 379 & 34 IPC.

As per prosecution case, a report was lodged by the complainant alleging that his motorcycle has been stolen and on suspicion, the applicants have been arrested.

Counsels for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He submits that the applicants are in jail since 06.12.2019; the charge sheet has already been filed and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion. On the other hand counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

Having heard counsels for the parties, considered the totality of the fact, in particular the detention period of the applicants, I am inclined to release them on regular bail. Accordingly, their applications filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are allowed. It is directed that in the event of the applicants' furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- each with one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, they shall be released on bail.
