Heard.

2.

The applicants have preferred this bail application under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of bail as they have been arrested in connection with Crime No.134/2021, registered at Police Station Pateva, District Mahasamund (CG), for the offence under Section 380 of the Indian Penal Code.

MCRC No.3861 of 2021 3.

Applicants along with three more accused have allegedly committed theft of electrical goods belonging to the complainant Suresh Prasad Tyagi, a contractor with the Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited. 4.

As per the contents of the FIR, the complainant was not paying wages to the applicants who were working with him as labourers, therefore, they retained the alleged stolen goods to return the same after the wages are paid to them. 5.

Learned counsel for the State, per contra, would oppose the bail application.

6.

Albeit the value of the stolen goods is Rs.7.00 lacs, but considering the contents of the FIR and for the fact that the applicants are in jail since 25-5-2021 and the offence is triable by the JMFC, I am of the opinion that present is a fit case to release the applicant on regular bail. 7.

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed and the applicants are directed to be released on bail on each of them executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. They are directed to appear before the trial Court on each and every date given by the said Court.
