Mr.Jharkhandi Upadhyay ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 27-07-2022 The present petition is by way of 3rd attempt at the behest of the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Matihani P.S. Case No. 97 of 2019 for the offence registered under Section 25(1-AA)25(1-b) A, 26,27, 35 of Arms Act in as much as the earlier prayers of the petitioner for grant of bail have all been rejected by this Court.

The case of the prosecution in brief is that the police received a secret information to the effect that some criminals were carrying arms and were wandering with the intention of committing crime and when the police had reached the alleged place of occurrence, the said criminals are alleged to have fired on the police personnel, however subsequently, the police force had surrounded the criminals as also had offered them to surrender, whereupon the said criminals along with the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.67063 of 2021(5) dt.27-07-2022 2/2 petitioner, finding themselves to have been cordoned off, had surrendered and from the possession of the petitioner herein, arms were recovered.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is languishing in custody since 20.06.2019. Per contra, the learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and has submitted that the petitioner is a veteran criminal, inasmuch as more than 16 cases are pending against him and in some cases, the petitioner is alleged to have committed heinous crime.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the materials on record, this Court finds that there is no change in circumstance so as to warrant reconsideration of the prayer of the petitioner for grant of regular bail, especially considering the fact that the petitioner appears to be a veteran criminal, having a bad antecedent, thus the present petition stands dismissed.
