ORDER
By way of this application, applicant/accused has prayed to
release him on bail pertaining to C.R.No.103/2019 registered for the
offence punishable under Section 398 of IPC, under Section 3/25 of
Indian Arms Act, and under Section 37 (1) r/w 135,142 of Mumbai
Police Act with Pantnagar Police Station.
2. The applicant through Advocate submitted that he was arrested
on 01.10.2019 in C.R.No.625/2019. Since then he is in custody.
Thereafter, he was also taken in custody in this crime No.103/2019 by
Pantnagar police station. But he has no involvement in this complaint.
The police have falsely implicated him in this case. He was never
present on the spot. But as Ghatkopar Police station have arrested him
he was also dragged in this matter. There is no primafacie case

established by the prosecution against him, hence, he prayed that he be
released on bail.
3. Say of learned A.P.P and I.O. was called. They have filed their
reply by submitting that by order of D.C.P, Zone07, dt.11.09.2019 the
applicant/accused was externed, therefore, he commit such type of
offence again. There are six offences registered against him in
Pantnagar Police station. Therefore, he should not be released on bail.
4. Heard learned A.P.P and learned Advocate of the accused.
5. Since 01.10.2019 the applicant is in custody. It was the
prosecution case that while night patrolling on 01.10.2019 the police
party at about 02.30 a.m. in the night found one auto rickshaw driver in
frighten condition. He revealed that on GhatkoparMankhurd Link road
one person by showing gun robbing travellers. Therefore, immediately
police proceeded towards spot and found the applicant injuring one
auto rickshaw driver. Immediately he was taken in custody and
recovered pistol from him. Thereafter, he lodged in the police custody
and forwarded to jail. About this offence the police registered FIR.
6. After perusal of say, offence under Section 354,452,324 and 380
are registered with Pant Nagar Police station against this accused.
However, there is no other record found mentioned to hold that by
means of weapon i.e gun applicant has committed robbery. Therefore,
if the applicant/accused was kept behind bar in this offence, it will
definitely caused serious prejudice to him. Already investigation is
over, weapon is recovered and charge sheet has been filed. Therefore,
his presence during the trial can be secured by imposing certain
conditions.
