Petitioner seeks regular bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 399, 400, 402, 414 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 25(I-b)a, 26, 35 of the Arms Act. As per allegation, police got information that 5/7 miscreants equipped with deadly weapons stood near Dhanauja Teliya for committing the crime and thereafter police party proceeded to the place where accused persons had assembled and on seeing the police party accused persons who were in a Maruti vehicle managed to escape leaving behind said car and thereafter car was searched and one country made rifle and one country made pistol were recovered from rear seat of the car.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20363 of 2022(2) dt.19-07-2022 2/3 The main submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner are that petitioner was not arrested at the spot, as per prosecution his name surfaced in the statements of villagers except this there is no material against the petitioner and he has been languishing in jail since 18.10.2021. Further submission is that petitioner is not the owner of the alleged vehicle from which firearms were recovered and against him there is criminal antecedent of two cases in which he is on bail.

Learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail.

In view of the above submissions and considering the fact that petitioner was not arrested at the spot, villagers disclosed name of this petitioner as being involved in the alleged crime and in respect of the petitioner investigation has been completed, in my view, a lenient approach may be taken in respect of the petitioner. Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl.
