IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17263 of 2008 BABAN UPADHAYAY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 07.05.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner who happens to be the security guard in L.P.G. Filling Plant, Gidha, is apprehensive of his arrest in connection with Koilwar P.S. Case No. 36 of 2008 registered under section 379 I.P.C. has prayed for anticipatory bail. As per the allegation on 24.2.2008 while the petitioner was leaving the premises of the plant 12 valves allegedly were recovered from his possession for which he had no answer. He was produced before the management who took no action on that day. Two days later a written report was submitted before the police alleging the commission of theft by the petitioner. It is said that the investigation is still going on and there is no explanation for the recovery of 12 valves from the motorcycle of the petitioner. In the situation I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. His prayer for anticipatory bail is accordingly rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before Court below within three weeks from today and pray for regular bail. Sanjay/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
