IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22703 of 2010 1. SUBHASH KUMAR 2. BHIKHU MAHTO @ BHIKHAM MAHTO ------------------- PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 23.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 13 pieces of Solar plate recovered from a Motorcycle which are said stolen. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that they have no concern with Solar plates and specified that the motorcycle was given to one co-accused Manoj Kumar for his use which is appearing not acceptable. Petitioner no.1 is owner of the motorcycle. There is every presumption that he was driving motorcycle. Manoj Kumar is accepting taking it away and admittedly there is no explanation from petitioners’ side about possession of Solar plates. Petitioners are not claiming that plates were either purchased by them or were legally in their possession. Considering the facts of the case, prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioners is rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender and move for regular bail which shall be decided on merit. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
