5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that from the factual aspect of this case it cannot be gathered that the petitioner was involved in preparation for dacoity. It is submitted that as petitioner found in possession of two country made pistols alongwith two live cartridges, therefore, merely with this recovery it cannot be said that there was a preparation for dacoity, where the petitioner was one of the participant. It is submitted that recovery of arms as alleged also not appears to be made from conscious physical possession of this petitioner, where seizure list also appears doubtful for the reasons that the same is being supported by police personal. While concluding the argument, it is submitted that investigation of this case is completed, for which charge-sheet has been submitted, as such, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence.
