Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.41258 of 2017 (2) dt.07-09-2017 2/2 since 16.5.2017.

Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for bail stating that several articles were recovered which are being used in manufacturing of fire arms.

Having heard both sides and in view of facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, as the petitioner is in custody, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within six months. If trial is not concluded within the said period, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
