BAIL APPLN. 2215/2018 & Crl.M.B.1505/2018

Petitioner seeks regular bail in FIR No. 343/2018 under Sections 457/380 of the IPC registered at Police Station Kalkaji, New Delhi. Allegations in

the FIR are that from the office of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, five biometric machines were stolen.Â

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. He further submits that petitioner is a young boy and who

is studying in Class X and his board examinations are this year and he has to appear in the practical examinations shortly.

Learned APP for the State has filed the status report. Same is taken on record. One of the objections is that petitioner does not have a permanent

address in Delhi and there is a likelihood of petitioner absconding.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, per contra, submits that petitioner is a permanent resident of Delhi as his Aadhar Card as well as the

parents’ Aadhar Card is from Delhi and his father is also a permanent resident of Delhi and employed in Delhi. He submits that he is residing in

Delhi.

Learned APP for the State under instructions from the Investigating Officer submits that investigation is complete and chargesheet is in the process

of being finalised for the purpose of being filed. He further submits that the factum of examination of the petitioner has been verified.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and without commenting on the merits of the case and also keeping in view the fact that

petitioner is not alleged to have any adverse antecedents and further is of a tender age and is studying in Class X, I am of the view that the petitioner

has made out a case for grant of regular bail. Accordingly, on petitioner furnishing a bail bond in the sum of Rs. 15,000/- with one surety of the like

amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court, the petitioner shall be released on bail, if not required in any other case. The petitioner shall not do

anything, which may prejudice either the trial or the prosecution witnesses. Â

The petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Order Dasti under signatures of the Court Master.   Â
