O R D E R
This petition is for bail.
2. Petitioners are accused 1 and 2 in the crime registered
under Sections 392 and 34 of Indian Penal Code. According to
prosecution, petitioners have committed the offences and snatched
away gold chain.
3. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that petitioners
were assaulted by the people of the locality on some
misunderstanding and the petitioners are seriously injured also and
they were handed over to the police. The police thereafter
registered two crimes against them. Petitioners are totally innocent
of the allegations made. Petitioners are in custody since 27.4.2008
onwards. Recovery is completed and the petitioners are questioned
also and they are not required for any investigation, it is submitted.
It is also submitted that petitioners are already released on bail in
other case by the Magistrate Court.
4. This petition is strongly opposed. Learned Public
Prosecutor submitted that the accused were arrested on 27.4.2008
BA.3341/08 2
on their production by the people of the locality. But on questioning
the accused it is found that they are involved in similar other
offences and their formal arrest was recorded on 5.5.2008. They
are in judicial custody. In case the petitioners are released on bail,
it is submitted that they will not be available for trial, since they are
it is likely to abscond.
5. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that it is not a fit case
to grant bail to the petitioners.
This petition is dismissed.
