By way of present application, the applicant is seeking regular bail for the offence punishable under Section 394 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code vide Crime No. 207/2010 registered with Police Station, Wadgaon Road, District Yavatmal. Learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the bare perusal of the complaint lodged by one Vijay Gadgade with the Police Station, Wadgaon Road, District Yavatmal would show that some unknown person has snatched the purse of his wife. Learned Counsel further submits that only on suspicion, the applicant is booked by the police authorities and there is no material to connect the applicant with the crime. He further submits that in the nature of such vague material, the applicant deserves to be released on bail as the investigation is almost complete. Learned APP has filed reply. In the reply, it is stated that the Mobile bearing Sim Card No. 9850765012 belongs to the applicant as well as the other ornaments and cash of Rs.850/- were recovered from the applicant on 15.07.2010. It is further stated in the reply that the applicant is involved in the similar nature of the offences and the list of his criminal antecedents is given. The list includes four offences against the applicant which are pending are of the similar nature. Learned APP further submits that if the applicant is released on bail, there is every possibility of the applicant that he will not be available for further 2 investigation. In view of the material placed before this Court by the investigating agency, I am of the opinion that there is prima facie material against the applicant to connect the applicant with the crime in question. The apprehension expressed by the learned APP is justified. In the result, the application is rejected. JUDGE *rrg.
