For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Binay Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Amit Kumar Rakesh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 07-09-2017 Heard the parties.

This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Bhagalpur G.R.P. Case No.71 of 2017, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 25(1-b)a, 35 of the Arms Act and Section 37(B) of Excise Act.

Allegation as per FIR against the petitioner is that the police intercepted two persons and a huge quantity of arms and ammunition were recovered from them and they disclosed name of the petitioner also and further during the raid, he fled away in some other compartment and it has also been disclosed that earlier this petitioner had supplied huge quantity of arms at Lucknow.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.39025 of 2017 (3) dt.07-09-2017 2/2 that except confession of the co-accused persons there is nothing against the petitioner and he has no criminal antecedent. The petitioner is in custody since 24.4.2017.

Heard learned A.P.P. also, who has opposed the prayer for bail stating that huge quantity of arms and ammunition were recovered and the petitioner also appears to be one of the members of that gang.

Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, as the petitioner is in custody, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude it within a period of six months. At the same time, the S.P. (Rail), Jamalpur is directed to ensure presence of the witnesses in this case so that the trial may be concluded within the period as stipulated above. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
