Acting upon such information, the police conducted a raid at the indicated place. It is alleged that from the possession of the present petitioner, only a mobile phone was recovered.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no incriminating material, except the said mobile phone, was recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. It is further submitted that all other recoveries were effected from the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.11824 of 2026(2) dt.25-02-2026 2/2 possession of co-accused Md. Zahid Alam. The said Md.

The petitioner is in custody since 20.08.2025 and has six criminal antecedents.

5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the nature of recovery and the fact that the coaccused from whose place the recoveries were made has already been granted bail, this Court is inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar in connection with Korha P.S. Case No. 196 of 2025, subject to the condition that he shall cooperate with the trial and mark his weekly attendance at the concerned Police Station.
