THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.4045 of 2010 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 5th July, 2010. O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is the second accused. According to prosecution, on 28.4.2010, at about 1.30 p.m., first and second accused in furtherance of common intention to commit the above offences, came to the shop, where defacto complainant was working. The first accused entered the shop and Rs.800/- was taken away from the table drawer. The bracelet worn by defacto complainant worth half sovereign of gold was also snatched away. The second accused stood in the veranda of the shop. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is in custody for the past 66 days. Petitioner was arrested on 30.4.2010. Even as per the prosecution case, he was only standing in the veranda. The charge is laid in this case. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner's presence was not innocent. He is involved in various other similar cases. Therefore, it is likely that BA NO.4045/10 2 he will abscond, even though charge is laid. 5. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied of the submission made by the learned Public Prosecutor. Hence, I find it not fit to grant bail to petitioner at this stage. Petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE. tgs
