2 01-03-2023 Heard the parties.

¶12

The petitioner is in custody in connection with Barauni P.S. Case No. 58 of 2021 dated 03^rd February, 2021 registered under Sections 399, 402, 412 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 25(1-B) (a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act.

¶13

As per the prosecution story, in course of patrolling, they chased and nabbed accused persons including the petitioner herein. Upon search, number of stolen articles were recovered from their respective possession. So far as the petitioner is concerned, one stolen motorcycle, mobile, country made pistol and live cartridges were recovered from his possession. A seizure list was prepared and he was taken into judicial custody after he failed to produce the documents relating to the articles

that were recovered from his possession.

¶16

This is a classic example of the petitioner coming into his own net inasmuch as in earlier bail application in paragraph 3, it was stated that he do not have criminal antecedent and accordingly that was one of the criteria for grant of bail. However, since the fact was recorded in the order sheet, he failed to come out because of the fact that he had three criminal antecedents under his belt including this case. Now, once the Court caught hold of him, he has come out with paragraph 3 according to which the criminal cases instituted against him have been recorded.

¶17

Taking into account the fact that due to false affidavit, he has already suffered inasmuch as despite the bail order of 06.04.2022, he failed to come out, this Court is inclined to extend him privilege of bail cautioning him to be careful in future.

¶18

Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Begusarai in connection with Barauni P.S. Case No. 58 of 2021 subject to the following conditions-:
