IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.48951 of 2008 RAJESH KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 13.04.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail under sections 414,467,471 and 468 of the Penal Code. The petitioner is the registered owner of the vehicle which is found to be a stolen vehicle with changed engine and chassis numbers. The FIR discloses that on verification it was found that earlier number allotted to this vehicle was meant for a motor-cycle. Counsel for the petitioner submits that he is a bona fide purchaser from one Ramesh Kumar inasmuch as ‘no objection certificate’ was obtained before getting his name entered in respect of the vehicle in question. Counsel for the State, on the contrary, submits that there is/are ample material(s) to show that the number of the vehicle was fake. Having regard to the facts and submissions advanced on behalf of the parties, this Court is not convinced that a case for grant of anticipatory bail has been made out. The application seeking anticipatory bail stands rejected. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
