====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 23-03-2021 Heard Ms. Jyotsna Rani Miahra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Md. Sufyan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State through video conferencing. Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Saraiya (Jaitpur O.P.) P.S. Case No. 408 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 25(1-b)a and 26 of the Arms Act.

The allegation as per the First Information Report is that the petitioner was caught with a country made pistol and one live cartridge.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case after he was arrested by the Police in Jaitpur O.P. Case No. 280 of 2020

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.4044 of 2021(2) dt.23-03-2021 2/2 registered under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is in custody since 23.06.2020.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner has criminal antecedents and altogether three cases are pending against him. Having regard to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record and the fact that the petitioner has got criminal antecedents, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected.

However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after three months, if so advised.
