Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order on Board 17.10.2016
1. This is first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking grant of regular bail to the applicant in connection with Crime No. 212/2016 registered at P.S. Katghora, Distt. Korba (C.G) for the offence punishable under Section 379, 411, 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 34 of IPC.
2. As per the prosecution case, a report was lodged by one Deepak Shrivastava on 14.07.2016 that his Bolero Vehicle bearing Regn.No.C.G. 12-D/0687 has been stolen by some one. Subsequently, during investigation one of the coaccused Gorakh Ram was taken into custody and on his memorandum, it was revealed that Gorakh Ram after stealing the vehicle sold it to the present applicant who is running a scrap (Kabadi) shop and the present applicant after changing the number, sold it to some one and the
vehicle was recovered subsequently at the instance of the present applicant.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as there is no evidence against her and only on the memorandum of other accused, the applicant has been arrested, therefore, she may be enlarged on bail.
4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail.
5. Perused the case diary documents. It appears that the vehicle was recovered at the instance of the present applicant.
6. Considering the fact that still investigation is going on; charge sheet has not yet been filed and taking into nature of allegations against this applicant, I am not inclined to allow this bail application. Accordingly, it is rejected. Sd/- GOUTAM BHADURI JUDGE R a o
