3. As per the prosecution story, allegedly huge quantity of arms and ammunition were recovered from the house of co-accused.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the name of the petitioner has transpired in the statement of the coaccused whose house was raided by police and some arms and ammunition were found from the house. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has though got 14 criminal antecedents but in three of the cases he has been left to go on admonition by the learned trial court.
5. Learned APP for the State has opposed this application. It is submitted that the petitioner being a juvenile has fallen in bad company and his name has been transpiring in several cases of robbery, dacoity and murder.
