Amit Mahajan, J. The present petition is filed for grant of pre-arrest bail in FIR No. 167/2022, under Section 397/394 of Indian Penal Code, 1860, registered at Police Station Old Rajinder Nagar.

3. During the course of investigation, the footage of the CCTV cameras in the vicinity were obtained and the vehicle used for the purpose of robbery was identified. The said vehicle was found to be stolen from Ghaziabad, UP.
