The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is in no way involved in the offence alleged in this case. He submits that the scooty has been recovered from another person and the petitioner has been detained behind the bars for last 28 days and considering the period of detention, he may be allowed to go on bail. 5.

Considering the progress made in the investigation as well as the fact that the stolen scooty has been recovered and also considering the period of detention undergone, this Court is of considered opinion that if the petitioner cooperates in the investigation, his further custodial detention may not be necessary. 8.
