1. Chitranjan Sharma Son of Mithilesh Sharma Resident of Village Naugarh, P.s Makhdumpur, District Jehanabad.

.... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Uma Shankar Sharma For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Smt. Indu Bala Pandey (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 20-04-2016 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned A.P.P for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case for the offences punishable under sections 25 (a) (b), 26 and 27 of the Arms Act. Allegedly, on the basis of the information furnished by the Officer Incharge, Parasbigha, raid was conducted and the petitioner was apprehended and from his possession one loaded country made katta and further four more live cartridges and cash of Rs. 4,300/- were recovered.

Submission is of false implication and that the petitioner has been made victim of the circumstances, nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession and he is suffering in custody since 17.04.2015, from the report of the learned trial

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3520 of 2016 (3) dt.20-04-2016 2/2 Judge it is apparent that the trial has not been concluded as yet. The learned A.P.P. opposes prayer for bail by submitting that the petitioner has got criminal antecedent and earlier also he was involved in two more cases under the Arms Act.

In the facts and circumstances as stated above, considering the criminal antecedent of the petitioner, at this stage I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and accordingly his such prayer stands rejected in connection with Jehanabad P.S. Case No. 164 of 2015 pending in the court of the learned C.J.M. Jehanabad.

However, the trial Judge is directed to conclude the trial and to dispose of the same within two months, failing which the petitioner may be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail, if at no fault.
