The petitioner has approached this Court seeking grant of regular bail in respect of a case registered against him vide FIR No. 181 dated 03.07.2021 at Police Station Lambi, District Sri Muktsar Sahib, under Section 380 of the IPC, 1860 (Sections 411/413 and 473 of the IPC, 1860 added later on).

¶21

The FIR was lodged at the instance of Maghi Lal, wherein it is alleged that he owned motorcycle bearing registration No.RJ-31-SE147 and that although the same is not registered in his name, but the previous owner had executed an affidavit regarding its sale in his favour. It is alleged that on 30.06.2021, he had parked the motorcycle in the house of his aunt during night. However, the same was stolen by removing wooden planks from the gate. The complainant kept on searching for his motorcycle and made enquiries at his own level, but the same could not be traced.

¶22

It is further the case of prosecution that Parkash Ram, Bobby and Arshdeep (petitioner) who were habitual of purchasing stolen properties were apprehended by the police on 4.7.2021. While coaccused Parkash Ram was riding the stolen motorcycle, co-accused Bobby and Arshdeep (petitioner) were on another motorcycle. It is further the case of prosecution that accused Parkash Ram had affixed fake registration numbers on the stolen motorcycle which he was driving.
