For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Ajay Kumar Pandey, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Ms. Sucheta Yadav, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 16-04-2021 Heard Mr. Ajay Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. Sucheta Yadav, learned APP for the State through video conferencing.

Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Siwan Town P.S.Case No.350 of 2020 registered for the offence under Sections 25 (1-b)a/26/35 of the Arms Act.

The allegation as per the First Information Report is that a pistol and two live cartridges have been recovered from the possession of the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated by the police with oblique motive. Learned counsel next submits that petitioner is in

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7822 of 2021(2) dt.16-04-2021 2/2 custody since 29.08.2020.

Having regard to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the material available on record and the fact that from the possession of the petitioner a pistol and two live cartridges along with a magazine have been recovered, petitioner has got criminal antecedent in as much as eight cases of identical nature are pending against the petitioner and the petitioner appears to be a habitual offender, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after nine months, if the trial does not show any progress.
