For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Nagendra Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Kumar Ranjit Ranjan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 5.

22-11-2016 Heard Sri Nagendra Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. The sole petitioner, who is in custody since 18-12-2015 in Hajipur Town P.S. Case No. 891 of 2015 registered for offence under Section 414 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 20/22 of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and Section 25(1-b)A/26 of the Arms Act, 1959, has prayed for grant of bail.

It was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that since petitioner was having criminal antecedent, he was made accused in the present case. He submits that petitioner is languishing in jail since long.

However, after noticing the statement made in

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.26675 of 2016 (5) dt.22-11-2016 2/2 paragraph - 3 of the petition, it is evident that petitioner is accused in altogether eight cases including the present case. From possession of the petitioner, Ganja, country-made pistol as well as stolen motorcycle were recovered.

Keeping in view the nature of accusation and criminal antecedent of the petitioner, there is no reason to pass favourable order.

The prayer for bail is rejected.

However, while rejecting the present petition, keeping in view the fact that petitioner is in custody since December 2015, it is desirable to observe that learned court below may take appropriate step so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay.
