The petitioner seeks bail in a case for the offences punishable under sections 25 (1-B) a and 26 of the Arms Act.

Submission is of false implication and that the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.25629 of 2015 (3) dt.08-10-2015 2/2 petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. The petitioner was coming from the village and after seeing the police party one another person who was carrying the bag after throwing the same fled away and the petitioner while crossing at the same time was arrested by the police. There is nothing to show that the petitioner was real owner of the aforesaid bag. The petitioner is an elected Panch for 15 years and due to political rivalry he has been implicated and now by remaining in custody since 20.01.2015 he has been sufficiently penalized, to which the learned A.P.P. submits that now lenient view can be taken.
In the facts and circumstances as stated above, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M. Bikramganj, Rohtas in Bikramganj P.S.
