Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6644 of 2025(2) dt.18-03-2025 2/2 cartridges have been recovered from the place of occurrence, and from perusal of seizure list, it appears that cartridges have been recovered about 100 gauge away from the place of occurrence. Learned counsel further submits the phone number from which extortion was demanded was not his mobile number.

5. Learned counsel for the State submits that petitioner is specifically named in the FIR and the police has collected six empty cartridges of 12 bore and two empty cartridges of 315 bore from place of occurrence.

6. Regards being had to the submission made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the gravity of the offence and the fact that there is specific allegation of firing near the house of the informant and the police has recovered six empty cartridges of 12 bore and two empty cartridges of 315 bore near the place of occurrence, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.

7. Accordingly, the prayer of petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected.
