Case no.11/2011 registered under section 394 of the IPC and accordingly, both the above stated petitions are being disposed off by this common order. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioners are in jail custody since 15.5.2011 on the allegation that they snatched bag containing Rs 12,420/- from the informant in broad day light. In course of investigation one witness Karishma Kumari claims to have seen the petitioners committing the alleged crime whereas two witnesses claim to have seen the petitioners fleeing having bag with them. Subsequently, confessional statements of the petitioners were recorded and Rs 9,000/- were recovered from possession of the petitioner in Cr. Misc. no.28428/2011. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that, as a matter of fact, informant used to come in the village of the petitioners to distribute loans among the villagers and when the petitioners raised voices against the illegal activity of the informant, he along with his henchmen lodged this false case implicating the 2 petitioners. It is further contended by him that they do not have any criminal antecedent which is evident from the report of the S.P. Banka. Taking into consideration the above stated facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioners, Prema Das and Nanhaku Das @ Nanku Das, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banka in Banka P.S.
