3. As per the prosecution story, the police upon information about firing going on between the parties, registered a 'Sanha', reached the house of Md. Ejaj Alam and got information that his son, Md. Imran Hasan @ Raja has fired
2/4 upon Md. Nesar Alam who was rushed to the hospital. The house was thereafter raided and both Md. Imran Hasan, the main accused as also Md. Ejaj Alam were arrested. Upon search, 69 live cartridges (.315 bore), two country made revolver and other 25 live cartridges along with magazine of 7.65 bore recovered/seized. This led to the FIR.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a perusal of the FIR would show that allegation is against his son, Md. Imran Hasan @ Raja that he injured Md. Nesar Alam. Further, he is an aged person, almost blind and moves with the help of support, the recovery/seizure relates to his son and is in custody since 07.03.2024 and if granted bail, shall be diligently appearing in trial.
5. Learned counsel for the informant, on the other hand, opposes the prayer submitting that recovery/seizure of arms are from the house.
6. Taking into account the aforesaid facts as also the submission put forward by the parties and further direct allegation is against Md.

Case No. 100 of 2024, he has remained in custody since 07.03.2024 and the son is also the accused in the
3/4 recovery of arms case, in this background, this Court is inclined to extend him the privilege of bail with conditions.
