Hon'ble Shri Justice Arvind Singh Chandel Order On Board 14/11/2018

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. 309/2018, registered at Police Station - Mova, Civil and Revenue District- Raipur, (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 41 (1-4) of Cr.P.C.

2. As per the prosecution story, on suspicion, co-accused Bhushan Banjare has been arrested by the police personnel. His memorandum statement has been recorded. On the basis of his memorandum statement, two mobile phones have been seized from the possession of the present Applicant also. The Applicant has been taken into custody on 09.09.2018.

3. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant submits that the Applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. She further submits that the Applicant has no criminal antecedent, he is in custody since 09.09.2018 and trial will take some time. Therefore, he

may be released on bail.

4. Per contra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application.

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

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the evidence collected by the prosecution and further considering the fact that the Applicant has no criminal antecedent, he is in custody since 09.09.2018 and trial is likely to take some time, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release him on bail.

7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.

8. It is directed that the Applicant shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 20,000/- with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed.
