stolen. As per the statement of co-accused- Jyotish Kumar, the vehicle was given to him by the petitioner/ Amar Kumar.

¶17

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that Jyotish Kumar was his previous driver and he was removal from the service and hence on account of such removal, he has falsely implicated the petitioner. He further submits that nothing has been recovered from possession of the petitioner because vehicle in question was found parked in front of the house of other man and admittedly that vehicle was parked by Jyotish Kumar and hence, the petitioner has nothing to do with the alleged offence.

¶18

It is also stated in paragraph no. 2 of the bail petition that the petitioner has not moved this Court earlier either for anticipatory bail or regular one in the instant case.

¶19

It has further been stated in paragraph no.3 of the bail petition that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
