Public Prosecutor for the State. Although petitioner is in jail custody since 3.8.2011 in a case initially, registered under [STATUTE] and later on, [STATUTE] was also added but taking into consideration that stolen articles have been recovered from the house of the petitioner and the said articles were identified by the informant in course of test identification parade, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, at least, at this stage.
