Learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail.

Heard both sides, perused the FIR. As per prosecution petitioner is the main accused in relation to murder of a RTI activist and in respect of said case while making investigation, police got information that the petitioner was present with other co-accused in his house and thereafter, police party raided his house and from his possession a country made pistol along with five live cartridges was recovered.

Considering the nature of the allegation and mainly his criminal antecedent, petitioner does not deserve privilege of bail and accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. Petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after examination of witnesses of seizure.
