He used to park the activa beside his house every day. On the same day at about 16:00 hours, he left out from the house for work and he noticed that his activa bike was missing from where he parked. Then he searched for bike in the surrounding areas but in vain. Further, he stated that some unknown offender's committed theft of his active bike. He searched for his activa bike till today but not found the same and he came to police station and lodged a complaint. Hence, the complainant requested to take necessary action. Basing on the said complaint, the police registered a case for the above said offence. Later, on investigation, they found the vehicle with the petitioner herein and he is arrayed as accused No.1.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the alleged offence is punishable below seven years and instead of serving notice under Section 35(3) of the BNSS, the petitioner herein was erroneously remanded to the judicial custody. He further submitted that the other accused in the same crime were served with notices under Section 35(3) of the BNSS. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to him by allowing this criminal petition.

Further, the investigation is not yet completed. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.
