JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 23-12-2022 Heard Mr. Vijay Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Md. Fahimuddin, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State through video conferencing. Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Phulwarisharif PS Case No. 662/2022 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420 of the IPC, 25(1-b)a, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act and 3⁄4 of the Bangal Gambling Act. As per prosecution case, one country made unloaded pistol has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that by the impugned order bail application of the petitioner has been rejected on the ground that petitioner has four criminal antecedents while in this petition, the petitioner has disclosed about eight criminal antecedents against him. Learned counsel
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.49154 of 2022(2) dt.23-12-2022 2/2 further submits that petitioner is in custody since 11.06.2022. Regard being had to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is a habitual offender and as much as eight criminal cases have been registered against him, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.
However, if so advised, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after six months if the trial does not register substantial progress.
