O R D E R

Petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

2.

Petitioner is said to have committed the offence under Section 379 of the India Penal Code.

3.

The prosecution case is that he along with the co-accused followed the victim on a motor cycle while she was walking along a public road and snatched her bag containing Rs.3000/- (Rupees Three thousand only), two mobile phones, one pen drive and two ATM cards together worth Rs.13,000/- (Rupees Thirteen thousand only). The learned counsel submits that taking into account the period of custody he may be granted bail.

4.

Heard.

5.

The modus operandi of the petitioner and the co-accused compels me to take a view that if the petitioner is released on bail at this stage there is every likelihood of his repeating it. One of the co-accused is a

B.A. No. 4398 of 2015 juvenile. So it is clear that the petitioner took the assistance of the juvenile to commit the offence. Having regard to all these facts I am not inclined to grant the prayer of the petitioner for bail at this stage. In the result, this application is dismissed. sd/- K.
