Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: The petitioner has applied for regular bail under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, 'Cr.P.C.') in case FIR No.135 dated 04.7.2009, registered under Sections 382, 472,473,34 IPC at Police Station, Model Town, District Ludhiana. The allegations against the petitioner are that on the night intervening 3/4.7.2009, at about 12.45.a.m, while he was travelling in his Maruti Swift, Silver Colour Car No. PB-10CG 0851 alongwith his wife, one black colour,without number plate, TATA Indica Car, came from behind in which three clean shaven youth were sitting having pistal, dang and other weapons. At that time, one clean shaven youth came to the driver side, took out a pistol like thing and forcibly threw the complainant and his wife out of the car and took it away. CRM-M 26222 of 2009 -2- The complainant had keys of his house, two Nokia mobile phones having Nos.9814098001 and 9914523020 in the car. It is also alleged that the said car was registered in the name of Jyoti Industries and is owned by his friend Raminder Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that there is no link to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. The petitioner is in custody since 10.7.2009. The charge has yet not been framed in this case. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State/respondent has submitted, on instructions received from ASI Harvinder Singh, that the challan has been presented and the alleged car has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. It is also submitted that no prosecution witness has been examined in this case so far. Before coming to this Court, the petitioner had applied for regular bail before the Court below which was dismissed by learned Addl.Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, vide his order dated 11.8.2009, observing that life and property of citizen are not safe on road as the petitioner has openly snatched the car of the complainant at the gun point. In view of the above, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. Therefore, the present bail application is hereby dismissed. Nothing observed herein shall be taken to be an expression of opinion on the merit of the case. October 24,2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
