Holding
Regular bail was denied to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Guddu Kumar Sharma, applied for regular bail in a case registered under Sections 414, 420, 467, 468 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code relating to alleged cheating, forgery and participation in a common intention offence. Four stolen trucks were recovered from the petitioner’s garage, indicating his involvement in dealing with stolen vehicles. The petitioner has been in custody since 12‑12‑2025. The court, after hearing counsel, considered the seriousness of the offences and the material evidence recovered. It concluded that granting regular bail would be inappropriate at this stage. Consequently, the bail application was rejected, with a direction that the petitioner may re‑apply if the trial is delayed by the prosecution. The observations were limited to the bail application and not to the merits of the trial.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner in view of the recovery of stolen trucks and the nature of offences under IPC Sections 414, 420, 467, 468 and 34.
