The petitioner seeks bail in Jakkanpur PS Case No. 433 of 2019, instituted for the offence under Section 25(1-B)a/26 of the Arms Act.

Petitioner's counsel submits that the recovery is not in accordance with law. It is a case of false implication due to his criminal antecedents in four cases, namely, Ramkrishna Nagar P. S. Case No. 81 of 2019, 185 of 2019, 467 of 2019 and Kankarbagh P. S. Case No. 275 of 2019. He is on bail in all the four cases.

The learned APP representing the State has opposed the prayer for bail.

Considering the rival submissions as also the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court, for the purposes of grant of bail, is inclined to accept the submissions advanced by the petitioner's counsel. Prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on
