IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14352 of 2008 JAGDISH MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 09.05.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case which was initially registered for the offence under Section 379/34 of the Penal Code in regard to the theft of a car bearing Registration No. WB-2061-3761 but the charge-sheet was submitted under Sections 406, 381 and 411 of the Penal Code. Petitioner is named in the First Information Report. He remained absconding and has surrendered on 24.12.2007. It is submitted on his behalf that during the investigation itself the car was recovered and handed over to the informant whereafter the matter was compromised and the other co-accused taking into account the compromise has been acquitted in the trial. This Court is hardly concerned with the acquittal of the another co-accused. Petitioner has remained absconding and is named in the First Information Report as one who was entrusted with the vehicle and he ran away with the car. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
