HEMA, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Appl.No. 6871 of 2008 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of November, 2008. ORDER Petition for bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 395 of IPC. According to prosecution, the de facto complainant was proceeding in a Maruthi car. While so, an Innova car in which petitioner and other accused were travelling blocked the car and thereafter they went to de facto complainant and tried to snatch away the bag which contained Rs.4 lakhs. De facto complainant manged to escape and thereafter filed the complaint. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that incident occurred on 1.8.2008 and petitioner was arrested on 4.10.2008. He is in custody for the past 40 days. He also submitted that his name is not in the first information statement. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that involvement of petitioner in the crime was revealed when he was arrested in connection with another case. Admittedly, petitioner is not known to de facto complainant and [B.A.No.6871/08] 2 one cannot expect his name in the first information statement. His identity is revealed in investigation and it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail at this stage. All accused are not arrested. 5. On hearing both sides, considering the stage of investigation, I am satisfied that it is not fit to grant anticipatory bail at this stage. If released on bail, it is likely that it will adversely affect investigation. Petition is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. Krs.
