The alleged offences are under Sections 120B, 395, 216A and 412 of IPC. Petitioners are accused nos. 1 to 3 and 8. According to prosecution, petitioners along with other accused committed dacoity by intercepting the car, in which the defacto complainant was travelling, along with the son-in-law, and forcibly taken away gold ornaments worth Rs.60 lakhs and cash worth Rs.2,70,000/-. The incident occurred on 30.4.2008 and petitioners were arrested on 24.5.2008. They are in custody for the past more than four months. 3. This petition is opposed. Learned public prosecutor submitted that the petitioners are involved in other crimes of similar nature and it is likely that they will abscond, if bail is granted. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that it is likely that the petitioners will abscond and it is not proper to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. The petition is dismissed.
