Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33891 of 2022(2) dt.09-09-2022 2/3 The case is registered under Sections 25 (1-b),a, 26, 35 of the Arms Act, in connection with Birpur P.S. Case No. 39 of 2022.

As per the FIR, it is alleged that the police proceeded on a night patrolling duty and conducted raid whereafter it arrested two accused persons Abhinandan Kumar @ Raja and Abhinav Kumar @ Photo on the basis of earlier confessional statement made by Avinash Kumar. The further allegation is that from accused Abhinandan Kumar @ Raja although nothing was recovered, so far as Abhinav Kumar @ Photo is concerned, it is alleged that a country made pistol with four live cartridges were recovered/seized.

Learned counsels for the petitioners submit that both of them are in custody since 22.4.2022 and as such suffered a lot and deserve bail.

Per contra, learned APP opposes the bail submitting that both the petitioners have criminal antecedents. Be that as it may, since both the petitioners are in custody since 22.4.2022, charge-sheet stands submitted and ultimately they have to face the trial, this Court is inclined to grant them the privilege of bail with conditions. Let the petitioners be released on bail on furnishing
