No.14543 of 2008 SHAHABUDDIN @ SHAHABUDDIN QUADRI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 12.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State in both the cases. Both the cases arise out of the same P.S. case under Sections 414,467,471,406 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and the petitioners pray for anticipatory bail. The allegation in the FIR was that two Marshal Jeeps were seized from the residential house of one Nanhe Mian but the same were released on the assurance that original papers will be produced within ten days. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the owner of the vehicle, namely, Sajid Alam has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court by order dated 19.10.2006(Annexure-2) passed in Cr. Misc. No. 41759 of 2006 in view of the fact that necessary evidences show that the vehicle has been purchased and registration has been delayed on account of non-receipt of the no objection certificate from the West Bengal Transport Authority where the vehicle was originally registered. It is further submitted that similarly the brothers of Sajid Alam have also been granted bail by order dated 21.7.2006 passed by this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 29862/2006. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that these petitioners have been implicated solely for the reason that they are both friends of the vehicles’ owner Sajid Alam and in view of the fact that the owner and his brothers have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, the petitioners’ case stands on a better footing and they should also be granted the same relief. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor, opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. On a consideration of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, it is directed that the petitioners (1) Md. Saheb @ Md. Safdar Imam in Cr. Misc.
