S.B.CR. MISC. BAIL APPLICATION NO.7548/2008 Anis Vs. State of Raj. 13.10.2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI Mr. Asgar Khan for the petitioner. Mr. Jinendra Jain, Public Prosecutor for the State. This order governs the disposal of bail application filed by Shri Asgar Khan, Advocate on behalf of the applicant Anis pertaining to F.I.R. No.251/2008 of Police Station Gangapurcity, Distt. Sawai Madhopur in the offences under Section 394 and 397 of IPC. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and perused the relevant material made available to me. The learned counsel for the accused applicant has contended that no amount has been recovered from the possession or at the instance of accused Anis. He has been falsely implicated in the case and has been in custody for the last six months. The trial is likely to take time, hence his bail petition may be allowed and he may be released on bail. The learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State has opposed the bail petition. 2 Having reflected over the submissions made at the bar and scanned the relevant material, it is noticed that Mr. Mahesh Pathak injured sustained two stab wounds and three incised wounds during the incident and an amount of Rs. One lakh to Rs. 1,25,000/- is found to have been robbed by the accused along with other co-accused persons. The spate of robbery incidents on petrol pumps has alarmingly increased during last 2-3 years causing a great sense of insecurity and putting the normal life of citizens under a sustained attack and mayhem. It poses a serious threat to the society at a large. The duty is cast upon the court to deal with such criminals sternly. Hence, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not feel inclined to grant bail to the accused petitioner. In the result, the bail petition filed on behalf of the accused petitioner Anis stands dismissed. (MAHESH BHAGWATI),J. PCG
