                                                  -----------

3. 24.8.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the

State.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the

offence u/s.379 of the Indian Penal Code and 135 of the

Indian Electricity Act.

Considering that the petitioner caused the loss of

more than 4 lacs rupees by stealing electricity, I am not

inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The prayer for bail is rejected.

However, if the petitioner files a representation

before the Compounding Board and pays the assessment

amount as raised by the Electricity Department, he would be

at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
