No.22118 of 2026(2) dt.08-04-2026 2/2 undertakes to co-operate in the case/ trial. 5. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner on the ground that petitioner was keeping a watch and when he saw that the cashier was talking on a phone then he signalled someone and other co- accused escaped with the money. A sum of Rs. 8 lakhs has been recovered from the co-accused, who has named the petitioner in his self-inculpatory statement. 6. Considering the aforesaid facts as well as the fact that the petitioner is the resident of Madhya Pradesh and has come to Bihar to commit crime, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 7.
