4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. The mobile set which was recovered from possession of the petitioner is belonging to himself. It appears that on disclosure of the petitioner, country made pistol and live cartridges were recovered from a sugarcane field, which transpires from paragraph-21 of the case diary. He has three criminal antecedents.

5. Considering the above-mentioned facts and circumstances, presently, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner, which is accordingly rejected.
