Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. Applicant is in jail since 31.12.2017. No case is made out against him according to the material present on record. Charge-sheet has been filed and the case is pending before the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class. It is further submitted that similarly placed co-accused persons have also been released on bail in all the cases. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant may also be enlarged on regular bail.

¶55

On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the bail application and the submission made in this respect. It is submitted that the applicant appears to be habitual offender, hence, he is not entitled for grant of bail.

¶56

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents placed on record.

¶57

The case against the applicant in all the cases is this that he along with other co-accused person has committed theft in the houses of the complainants in all the cases, in which jewelery of gold and silver and cash were stolen from the houses of the complainants. Some articles have been seized from the possession of the applicant, which has been identified by the respective complainants as stolen property.

Hence, this case.

Considered the submissions made and the contents of the case diary. Considering on the entire material present in the case diary as it appears that the applicant is in jail since about 7 months and the trial in all the cases against him are still pending and also for the reason that similarly placed co-accused persons have been granted regular bail, hence for these reasons, this Court is of the opinion that present is a fit case, in which, the applicant should be enlarged on regular bail. 8. Accordingly, the bail applications filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. are allowed.

¶61

It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in each cases in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed.
