He submits that there is no material available against the applicant and no specific allegation or evidence is available against him, he has been made accused only on the basis of the memorandum statement of the co-accused Enul Ansari. Applicant is owner of the bike repairing shop and thus, the offending motorcycle was only parked in his shop for repair and he has not purchased the vehicle from the co-accused and thus, the applicant may be granted anticipatory bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that present applicant there are specific allegations of purchasing the stolen vehicle from the co-accused person and there is prima facie material available against the applicant. Thus, the applicant may not be granted anticipatory bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the nature and gravity of the offence and material on record in the case diary, and the allegations leveled against the applicant, therefore, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 7.
