                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                   connection with Nawada Town P.S. Case No. 227 of 2026, dated

                   21.02.2026, registered for the offence punishable under Section

                   303(2) of the B.N.S., 2023.

                                   3. As per the prosecution case, the e-rickshaw of

                   the informant was stolen and the name of the petitioner

                   transpired as one of the thieves.

                                   4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                   petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely

                   been implicated in the present case. Nothing incriminating has

                   been recovered from person or possession of the petitioner.

                   Petitioner was not apprehended from the spot. The FIR has been

          explanation. Initially the informant did not name this petitioner,

          but subsequently, when his second re-statement was recorded,

          he named this petitioner along with other co-accused persons

          and showed his suspicion that they might have stolen his e-

          rickshaw. Learned cousnel further submits that the so-called

          recovery on confessional statement of this petitioner is of some

          parts of e-rickshaw from some garage and such recovery is not

          believable. The petitioner is himself an e-rickshaw driver and a

          poor man. Learned counsel next submits that petitioner is

          having clean antecedent and chargesheet has been submitted.

          Learned counsel lastly submits that petitioner is in custody since

          01.03.2026.

                          5. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State

          opposes the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner.

                          6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and

          submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the

          nature of allegation, clean antecedent of the petitioner and his

          period of custody, the petitioner, above-named, is directed to be

          released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-
