Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18339 of 2022(2) dt.08-07-2022 2/3 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that the recovery cannot be said from the conscious physical possession of the petitioner, as same is from the jointly occupied house of the petitioner. While concluding the argument, it is submitted that petitioner is a man of clean antecedent and, moreover, investigation in this case is complete for which chargesheet has been submitted, as such, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence.

Learned APP appearing on behalf of the State while opposing the prayer of bail fairly conceded the fact that recovery is from the jointly occupied house of the petitioner. Considering the facts and circumstances as mentioned above, as recovery cannot be said from the conscious physical possession of the petitioner, who is a man of clean antecedent coupled with the fact that chargesheet has already been submitted, let the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail in connection with Halsi P.S.
