====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 16-04-2021 Heard Mr. Raj Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Nawal Kishore Prasad, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State through video conferencing.

Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Town P.S. Case No. 284 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under Section(s) 25(1-b)a and 26 of the Arms Act. The allegation against the petitioner as per the First Information Report is that a country made pistol and three cartridges have been recovered from his possession. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated in this case by the Police

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7862 of 2021(2) dt.16-04-2021 2/2 with oblique motive. Learned counsel next submits that the petitioner is in custody since 6.6.2020.

Having regard to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record, the fact that firearm along with cartridges have been recovered from possession of the petitioner and the petitioner has got criminal antecedents inasmuch as 12 cases are pending against him, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected at this stage.

However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after six months if the trial does not show any progress. (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) S.Ali/- U T
