Mr.Umanath Mishra ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 04-12-2019 Heard learned counsel for the parties.
This application for regular bail arises out of Barh P.S. Case No. 15 of 2019, disclosing the offence under Sections 25(1-b) A/26 of the Arms Act.
The petitioner has criminal antecedent, as can be noticed from paragraph 3 of the application, which are as under :- "(i) Barh Police Station Case No. 241 of 2015 under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.
(ii) Bahadur Police Station Case No. 8 of 2015 under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code.
(iii) Bihta Police Station Case No. 859 of 2014 under Section 363/365/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
(iv) Barh Police Station Case No. 48 of
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48592 of 2019(3) dt.04-12-2019 2/2 2019 under Section 25 (1-b) a, 26 of the Arms Act.
(v) Barh Police Station Case No. 44 of 2019 under Section 307/120/34 of the Indian Penal Code."
Considering the criminal antecedent of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him privilege of regular bail. This application is accordingly rejected.
It is alleged in the FIR that a raid was carried out by the police personnel, from the petitioner's house, leading to recovery of a country-made pistol with mark of Automatic Pistol made in USA and one cartridge of 9 mm. However, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody in connection with the present case since 12.03.2019, he shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after he completes one year in custody in connection with the present case if the trial, in the meanwhile, is not concluded.
