Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.9279 of 2017 (2) dt.15-03-2017 2/2 house.

The counsel for the petitioner submits that only one loaded country made pistol and eight cartridges were recovered from the possession of the petitioner and one of the co-accused, namely, Abhishek Kumar, from whose possession one country made Katta and one loaded cartridge besides two other cartridges were recovered, has already been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 55699 of 2016. However, the petitioner's case stands on different footing to Abhishek Kumar, as huge number of cartridges along with a country made pistol, were recovered from his house so, the prayer of bail of the petitioner is rejected at this stage. Learned Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within one and half year. (Arun Kumar, J) Mahesh/- U T
