For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Tej Narayan Singh, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Ram Priya Saran Singh, APP. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRAKASH CHANDRA JAISWAL ORAL ORDER 22-06-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in Salaiya P.S. Case No. 33 of 2016 registered under Section 386 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 25(1-b)a and 26 of the Arms Act and Section 17 of the C.L.A. Act.

One loaded country made rifle along with four live cartridges is said to have been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and the petitioner was apprehended by the police. Impugned Order indicates that twenty three criminal cases of serious nature are pending against the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that actually five cases are

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.27879 of 2017 (2) dt.22-06-2017 2/2 pending against him. Most of the aforesaid cases have been filed under Arms Act and C.L.A. Act.

Considering the facts and circumstances and the criminal antecedent of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, the learned court below is directed to conclude the trial expeditiously preferably within four months from the date of receipt or production of a copy of this order. In case of non-conclusion of trial for no fault of the petitioner within the stipulated time, the petitioner may be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
