Said Mohit Pandit disclosed that about six persons were stealing the boxes containing beer bottles from the godown of the hotel. Thereafter, the informant and other labourers went to the said place. They found that those persons had fled away. Thereafter, the police and the owner of the hotel was informed. It is also stated that four persons were arrested and those four persons disclosed the name of the present applicant and other persons. Taking into consideration the said contents of the FIR, the physical custody by police appears to be not required. The Test of Identification Parade will have to be held when the person is in Magisterial custody, and therefore, by giving necessary directions, the investigation can be asked to go on. Therefore, the present application deserves to be allowed, accordingly it is allowed. Hence, following order.
