JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 14-03-2012 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] . The accusation is of committing theft of electric transformer. It appears that in another case of similar nature, Baikunth Prajapati and Md. Firoz Khan were arrested on the spot who confessed their guilt of being involved in three other cases and they also named the petitioner and one Amar Kumar Soni. It is submitted that there is no recovery from the petitioner and after the present case the petitioner has been ropped in two other cases but considering the fact that only on confession the petitioner’s name sprang up and prior to present case the petitioner has no criminal antecedent that Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7436 of 2012 (2) dt.14-03-2012 2 / 2 2 can be good ground for consideration of regular bail if the petitioner surrenders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order in connection with Amba P.S.
