Hon'ble Shri Justice Arvind Singh Chandel Order On Board 16/05/2019

1. The applicant has preferred this first bail application under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail as he is arrested in connection with crime no. 235/2018, registered at Police Station Dipka, District Korba (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 395 of the IPC and Section 25 & 27 of the Arms Act.

2. In this case there are total 6 accused persons. On 21.09.2018, complainant of the case namely Dhanaram Suryawanshi lodged a report in concerned police station alleging therein that on 20.09.2018 Sajid Khan, Tofique Khan, Lal Singh and other unknown persons stolen the diesel from one Dozer thereafter they all are fled away from the spot. On the basis of said report, offence has been registered against unknown persons. Allegedly, the applicant is also involved in the crime in question. During course of investigation one axe has been seized from his possession, he is custody since 11.01.2019.

3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submits that the

applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that the name of the applicant is not mentioned in the FIR, he was identified in test identification parade but that was too suspicious, he is custody since 11.01.2019 and trial is likely to take some time. Therefore, the applicant may be released on bail.

4. Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of State opposes the bail application.

5. I have heard learned Counsel for both the parties.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and evidence collected by the prosecution, further considering the fact that the applicant is in custody since 11-01-2019 and trial is likely to take some time, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.
