1. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 and 484 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Sections 394 of the Indian Penal Code, in connection with Gopikandar P.S. Case No. 27 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate – 1st Class, Dumka.
2. From the FIR, it is clear that the vehicle found from the miscreants, registration number of the one is JH16D1507.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that name of the petitioner transpired in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of co- accused and he has not committed any offence. He further submits that though the co-accused were put up on trial but they have been acquitted as the informant had stated that he could not identify him due to darkness.
4.
Learned counsel for the State opposes the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that in this case a motorcycle which was used in committing crime, i.e., JH16D1507 belongs to the petitioner which is evident from Paragraph No. 46 of the case diary.
5. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties. I find that in the FIR, registration number of the motorcycle have been mentioned which were used
( 2025:JHHC:18573 ) 2
in commission of the crime and as per Paragraph No. 46 of the Case Diary, motorcycle belongs to the petitioner.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner as this case needs proper investigation in presence of the petitioner including putting the petitioner on TIP also.
7. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail application of the petitioner is dismissed.
