JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 17-12-2012 Heard Mr. Rajive Ranjan Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Anil Kumar Singh No.I, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with (Adampur) Kotwali P.S. case No. 386 of 2012 registered for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] and prays for grant of regular bail. As per the prosecution story, the informant, who is Headmaster of Primary School stated that he had withdrawn some money from the Bank of India Branch, Khalifabhag and he was on way to Kharmanchak, BRC Municipality, Bhagalpur, in course of which two unknown criminals came in a motorcycle and snatched the bag containing an amount of Rs. 70,000/-. The informant Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.44571 of 2012 (2) dt.17-12-2012 stated in the written report that he could identify the miscreants. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in course of T.I. parade the informant identified two criminal, who were Abhisek Rathor and Sashi Bharti. However, the petitioner’s name has figured on the basis of the confessional statement of co- accused Abhisek Rathor and beyond this there is absolutely no material against this petitioner. It has been stated in paragraph 12 of the application that petitioner has no criminal antecedent nor any case is pending against him except the present case. Learned counsel for the petitioner, in course of argument however, states that the petitioner is accused in another case also for the similar nature. In view of above, this application is rejected. The petitioner will be however, at liberty to approach this Court again after six months. Arun Kumar /- (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J)
