As per prosecution case, in the intervening night of 22-23/09/2019, the applicant and other co-accused persons stole the money, from two ATM machines located at Bineka Tiraha, Mandla, and Badi Kheri after cutting the ATM machines by the gas cutter. On 24.09.2019 police arrested the applicant and seized Rs.1,25,900/- from the possession of applicant and registered Crime No.386/2019 for the offence punishable under Sections 457, 380, 427, 120B of IPC. After investigation of crime, police filed the charge sheet before CJM, Mandla and on that charge sheet criminal case No.720/2019 was registered which is pending before CJM, Mandla, Distt. Mandla.

In this case also, it is alleged that the applicant committed theft from two ATM machines after cutting those machines by gas cutter. The delay in the trial has mainly been caused due to the postponement of the trial of cases due to the ongoing covid pandemic. Other offences are also registered against them. So, learned trial court, as well as the revisional court, did not commit any mistake in rejecting applicant's application. Hence, the petition is hereby dismissed.
