For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ranjeet Kumar Singh, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Md.Fahimuddin, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 14-12-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Maheshkhunt P.S. CaseNo.36 of 2015 corresponding to Sessions Trial No.182 of 2015 registered under sections 399, 400 and 412/34 of the Indian Penal Code as well as sections 25(1-B)(a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act.

Regard being had to the gravity of the offence and the fact that the looted motorcycle, ornaments and a country made pistol were recovered from possession of the petitioner and also looted articles were duly identified by the victim of the dacoity, I am not inclined to grant him bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected.
