HEMA, J ---------------------- B.A.No.4247 OF 2010 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of August, 2010 O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offences are under sections 457 and 380 IPC. according to prosecution, petitioner committed house breaking and theft of house hold articles including gas cylnders and electronic items in February, 2010 from the house of defacto complainant. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner is in custody for the past 59 days. This petition is opposed. Learned public prosecutor submitted that petitioner is involved in other crimes of similar nature if he is enlarged on bail, it is likely that he will abscond. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that if petitioner is granted bail, it is likely that he will abscond since he is involved in other crimes. In such circumstances, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail. As it is pointed out by learned public B.A. No.4247/10 2 prosecutor, punishment for offence u/s.457 IPC is imprisonment for 14 years, if such offence is committed for the purpose of theft and hence, the statutory period for granting bail on default is 90 days.. This petition is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. Sou.
