2   04-05-2026                    Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered

                   for the offence punishable under Sections 457, 380 of the Indian

                   Penal Code.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner has antecedent of four cases and the informant alleges

                   that on 30.07.2023, unknown accused committed theft in his

                   house while he was in Delhi in connection with his wife’s

                   treatment and stones article as recorded in the F.I.R.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   F.I.R. is against unknown and the name of the petitioner

                   transpired on the basis of confessional statement of Sanjay, it is

                                            2/3




          further submitted that no doubt the petitioner has antecedent of

          four cases but then in all the four cases, his name transpired on

          the basis of confessional statement of Sanjay, with whom the

          petitioner has inimical term, it is also submitted that specific

          pleadings have been made at para 12 of the anticipatory bail

          application that the name of the petitioner in earlier four cases

          also came based on the confessional statement of the accused

          Sanjay, it is also submitted that if privilege of anticipatory bail

          is granted, the petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate

          in the investigation to prove his innocence.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

                       6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

          of the case, I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail

          to the petitioner.

                       7. Let the petitioner, as named above, in the event of

          his arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be

          enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees

          Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

          satisfaction of the learned Sub Judge-XVI,-cum-A.C.J.M.-XV,

                      438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure/Section 482(2) of the

                      Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

                                   8. However, it is made clear that if the investigating

                      officer of the case files an application before the learned trial

                      Court bringing to its notice that petitioner despite giving

                      assurance to this Court is not cooperating in the investigation, in

                      that invent, the learned trial Court shall at liberty to cancel the

                      bail bond of the petitioner.



                                                                           (Satyavrat Verma, J)
