As per the allegation in the FIR, it is alleged that the informant who was working with the ‘Bandhan Bank’ after collecting money was returning. On the way, three unknown miscreants on a motorcycle intercepted him on the point of pistol and looted Rs. 1,09,665/- by breaking the dicky of the

motorcycle. Further they also snatched the Tab and mobile as also ‘Aadhar’ Card of the informant, whereafter they left the place of occurrence.

¶19

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has been falsely implicated in this case only because he has criminal antecedent. During the investigation, his name has come up in the confessional statement of Bikram Kumar and Sunni Kumar but there has been no recovery from the conscious possession of the petitioner. It has further been submitted that by him that although he is in custody since 6.2.2022, no TIP has been conducted.

¶20

The learned APP on the other hand submits that both Bikram Kumar and Sunni Kumar have named him to be the third person who took part in the crime and as such his complicity cannot be ignored.

¶21

Considering the fact that the petitiner is in custody since 6.2.2022 (as stated in para-12 of the bail application), there is no recovery from his conscious possession, his name has come up on the confessional statements of Bikram Kumar and Sunni Kumar but no recovery took place as also the fact that no TIP has been conducted as yet, this Court is inclined to grant him the privilege of bail with conditions in view of the fact that
