Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 14/09/2016 1.

The applicant has preferred this application for grant of bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No.84/2015 registered in Police Station Gidhouri, District-Balodabazar-Bhatapara (C.G.) (wrongly mentioned as P.S.-Bilaigarh in the rejection order) for offence punishable under sections 379, 407, 420, 120 (B) of IPC and 3/7 of Essential Commodities Act.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case, he was only a driver, charge sheet in this case has been filed, therefore the applicant may be released on bail. 4.

Learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail and would submit that apart from this case, 2 cases are registered against the

applicant one bearing Crime No.150/2015 registered at PS Bilaigarh and another case bearing Crime No.149/2015 registered at PS Bilaigarh wherein in the similar way the offence has been committed by the applicant by changing the number plate.

6.

Accordingly, the bail application is dismissed. Sd/- (Goutam Bhaduri) JUDGE gouri
