The alleged offences are under sections 379, 411 read with section 34 IPC. According to the prosecution, the petitioner was arrested in connection with another crime registered at Thodupuzha Police Station. On questioning, it was revealed that he was involved in another crime. A search was conducted in the bakery run by him. Nine gas cylinders were seized from the premises and on investigation it was found that the crime was committed within the limits of Pothanikad and hence it was transferred to the said station. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner permitted his neighbours to keep cylinder in his bakery for filling the gas, since it was on that day that the cylinders used to be taken for filling. But, the police seized the cylinders from the bakery. The petitioner is innocent of the allegations made. He is running a bakery and he is a man of reputation, it is submitted. BA 4984/08 -2- 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that it is not fit to grant bail, especially since other similar crimes are allegedly committed by the petitioner and investigation is going on. This application is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. mn.
