The petitioner was arrested on 1.12.2008. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 17.7.07 at 2.30 pm., the petitioner along with another committed theft of a motor cycle from the parking area of Little Flower Hospital, Angamaly. 3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. 4. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence and that he has been implicated in other similar crimes on the basis of false information and that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions to be imposed by this Court. 5. This petition is vehemently opposed by the learned Public Prosecutor. It is submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that altogether three accused are there in the present crime and four crimes including the present crime are registered against the petitioner B.A.NO.7590/08 2 and if this petition is allowed at this stage, he will repeat similar offences. Considering the criminal antecedents of the petitioner, I find that time is not ripe enough to enlarge the petitioner on bail, who is in custody from 1.12.2008 onwards. This application is accordingly dismissed. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE. dsn/-
