Nos.M-3261 of 2011 etc. [2] The respective petitioners seek regular bail in FIR registered against them on 22.11.2010 for the offences under Sections 408 and 411 IPC. The FIR has been registered on the statement of Brij Gopal. It is alleged by the complainant Brij Gopal that he is carrying on transport business. On 18.11.2010, his driver Phooltau Khan brought the Eicher vehicle model 1099 bearing registration No.HR-38Q-0579 loaded with three tons of copper from Delhi. The truck was stopped at Barkhal Petrol Pump where employee of the complainant, namely, Vasudev met Phooltau Khan at the Petrol Pump and told him to get the vehicle parked at the Petrol Pump and he would enquire on phone from the office as to where the articles were to be unloaded and would inform him on telephone. However, when Vasudev went from the office for unloading the articles then neither the driver nor the vehicle were there. The driver of the complainant, namely, Phooltau Khan had been working with the complainant for the last 6/7 years and he had fled away with the truck and the articles. It was requested that legal action be taken. The respective petitioners are not named in the FIR. The allegations against the petitioners are that the misappropriated copper was recovered from them and, therefore, they are liable for the offence under Section 411 IPC. It may be noticed that the prosecution is to establish its case by leading evidence. The petitioners are in custody since 17.12.2010. Their further custody is not required for the purposes of investigation. The challan in the case has been filed and the charges have been framed. Cr. Misc. Nos.M-3261 of 2011 etc. [3] The prosecution is to examine 10 PWs. The trial in the case is likely to take time. The case is triable by the Magistrate of the Ist Class. In the circumstances, the respective petitioners Aslam and Shekh Ayub on their furnishing personal bonds and surety each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court shall be admitted to bail. The criminal miscellaneous petitions stand disposed of. March 30, 2011. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
