AB 93/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE H.N. SARMA Being apprehensive of arrest in connection with Barkhola P.S. Case No. 191/2010 under Section 7 of the E.C. Act read with Section 411 IPC, the petitioners have approached this Court by filing this application under Section 438 Cr.P.C, for r eleasing them on pre-arrest bail. The allegation against the petitioners is theft of LPG Gas from the cyli nders of the loaded truck with the help of the driver of the truck. The I/O during the course of investigation has recorded the statement of the driver who was apprehended in connection with the case who has specifically stated that the overt act was committed by the petitioners with his assistance. That apart, the statement of other witnesses has also been recorded u/s 161 Cr. P.C. which corroborates the allegation levelled in the FIR. In view of the sufficient incriminating materials collected by the I/O d uring the course of investigation which support the allegation levelled against the petitioners, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected.
