IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30899 of 2008 PRAMOD KUMAR @ BABLU SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.8.2008 Heard. A Thela was found carrying some articles and on examination they were found to be Railway properties. The Thela puller stated that the properties were handed to him by Balendra Ram and Arun Sah. The properties were loaded and booked through Railways for transportation and they had been brought out of the Railway premises unauthorisedly. Subsequently, it was revealed that petitioner was deeply involved and stored such properties in a rented house in a particular area at Muzaffarpur. The house was searched and recovery of properties booked through Railways was made as per seizure memo marked as R.PF-1. The conention is that at best it is a case of retaining the properties obtained by theft and it could not be an act punishable under the unlawful possession of the Railway properties. I believe that provision does not make any difference. If provision is this, the meaning of unlawful looses its importance. The petition is dismissed. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
