Mr. Raj Kishore Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 31-01-2022 Heard Mr. Bhola Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Raj Kishore Singh, Additional Public Prosecutor for the State through video conferencing. Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Kasim Bazar PS Case No. 263/2020 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 25 (1-A), 25 (1-AA), 25 (1-B) and 26 (i) (ii)/35 of the Arms Act.
As per prosecution case, the police, on the basis of secret information, recovered altogether 10 illegal pistols from the possession of the petitioner and other co-accused persons. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent and he has falsely been implicated in this case due to oblique motive. He further
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41484 of 2021(2) dt.31-01-2022 2/2 submits that petitioner is in custody since 25.09.2020 and the charge-sheet has already been submitted in the matter. Having regard to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the material on record and the fact that a huge cache of illegal fire-arms have been recovered from the possession of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the same is, hereby, rejected.
However, petitioner, if so advised, may renew his prayer for bail after six months if the trial does not record any substantial progress.
