Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.212 of 2004 of Lashakar police station. The said crime was initially registered for having committed an offence punishable under sections 399, 401 of IPC and subsequently the provisions of MCOCA were invoked by the police. I have perused the FIR and the other material placed on record. Prima facie there is sufficient material on record to connect the applicant with the offence punishable under section 399, 401 of IPC. Moreover, it is also clear that the applicant is also involved in three other cases of almost similar nature. The applicant appears to be a habitual offender. In view thereof I am not entering into a question whether the provisions of MCOCA Act are attracted. Prima facie I am satisfied that there is sufficient material on record to connect the applicant with the alleged offence. In the circumstances the application is rejected.
