The Bombay High Court has rejected the per-arrest bail plea of a man accused of stealing petrol from the pipeline of Indian Oil Tanking Limited at Nhava Sheva port, observing that stealing petroleum-based fuels adversely affects the country's economy.
The court, while rejecting the plea, noted that the accused, Ahmed Khan, was the main conspirator.
The HC was hearing a plea filed by Ahmed Khan seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered by Nhava Sheva police, Navi Mumbai, early this year for allegedly stealing 13,000 litres of petrol worth Rs13.90 lakh.
The case was registered under various provisions of the Essential Commodities Act, the Petroleum Act, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
