Two trucks loaded with coal were apprehended by the Police on the suspicion that the articles were stolen one. Case Diary reveals that at the time of seizure, certain documents pertaining to the trucks were also seized, such as, RC, insurance certificate, permit, including the invoice, but no document in respect of the coal was found in the vehicle. Now, it is to be noted that the present accused persons were the drivers of the said vehicle and the invoice indicates the name of the consignment and the consignee, but they have not come to claim either the vehicle or the coal seized. In such a juncture, keeping of the drivers inside the jail is of no avail, when the real culprits are roaming free outside. Considering all entirety of the matter, each of the accused petitioners, aforesaid, is allowed to go on bail of Rs.
