This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Sarai Police Station Case No. 259 of 2018, disclosing offences under Sections 414/120-B of the Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution case, in brief, is that the police, after receiving secret information that three stolen tractors were being loaded on a container near the brick kiln at Dharampur, proceeded towards the place of occurrence and arrested six accused persons from the spot and also seized three tractors, one alto car and one container. It has further been alleged that two miscreants managed to escape from the place of occurrence. The arrested co-accused person, in his confessional statement,

Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that no incriminating material has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
