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. 359/2018, registered at Police Station Sarkanda, District Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 452, 427, & 327 of the IPC.

As per the prosecution story, on 25.05.2018, complainant Madhukant Gupta has lodged a report, wherein it was alleged that present applicant entered in his electric shop and damaged the entire electric item. On the basis of said report, offence has been registered and the applicant has been arrested on 26-05-2018.
