IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7398 of 2009 PRAVIN KUMAR SONI @ PRAVIN KUMAR, SON OF LATE ASHARFI SONI, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-KORIA HAIBATPUR, POLICE STATION-MUFFASIL, DISTRICT-BEGUSARAI……………PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR………………………………….OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Binod Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay, A.P.P. ----------- 5. 12.5.2009. Praveen Kumar Soni alias Pravin Kumar, though not named in the F.I.R. , is in custody and faces prosecution in connection with Begusarai Town P.S. Case No.425 of 2008 for the alleged offences under Sections 379 and 411 I.P.C. A Suzuki motorcycle bearing Registration No.BR-073-6735 was reported by one Amresh Kumar, the owner thereof, to have been stolen from the premises of I.C.I.C.I. Bank, Begusarai on 4.12.2008 and two days thereafter the said motorcycle was stopped by the police and the three riders thereupon disclosed their names, the petitioner being one of them. The submission on behalf of the petitioner is that the seizure list does not disclose as to from whose possession the said motorcycle was seized and secondly the seizure list was prepared behind his back. It is immaterial whether the motorcycle was seized from the possession of the petitioner or his colleagues. The fact remains that he was one of the riders of the stolen motorcycle and that by itself is sufficient to make out the offences under Sections 379 and 411 I.P.C. True it is that the offences under Sections 379 and 411 I.P.C. each - 2 - provides for imprisonment for three years but then stealing motorcycles and cars has now become a professional industry which is required to be stopped. Be that as it may, the petitioner, Pravin Kumar Soni @ Pravin Kumar, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Begusarai Town P.S. Case NO.425 of 2008. However, it is made clear that the petitioner shall be physically present in court on all the dates fixed and if he is found absent on any of the dates, his bail bond shall automatically be cancelled.
