The matter is heard through video conferencing. 2.

The applicant has preferred this bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No.341/2019, registered at Police Station Kusmunda, District Korba(CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 457, 380, 511 and 427 of the IPC.

3.

Case of the prosecution is that the applicant entered into SBI ATM and tried to commit theft of the cash by breaking the ATM Machine. On the basis of CCTV footage the applicant has been arrested.

4.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and he has not committed any offence. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 4.9.2019 and trial may take some time for its final disposal, therefore, the applicant may be released on bail. 5.

On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application.

6.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

7.

Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and further considering the detention period of the applicant and trial is likely to take some time for its final disposal, I am inclined to release the applicant on regular bail. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed.
