No incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and he is no way concerned with the alleged recovery and petitioner has made accused in this case only on suspicion. The shop in question does not belong to this petitioner.

Patna High Court CR. MISC.

Considering the nature of accusation and criminal antecedents of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) BKS/- U T
