The allegation is regarding the police force having reached at the house of the petitioner whereafter search was conducted and one loaded pistol and one country made pistol along with ammunition was recovered from the room of the father of the petitioner.

Per contra, the learned counsel for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the fact that arms have not been recovered from the petitioner but the same have been recovered from the room of his father, I deem it fit and proper to direct for release of the petitioner herein on regular bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to 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 learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Purnea in connection with Jankinagar P.S.
