2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Naugachia P.S. Case No. 91/2025 registered for the offences under 25 (1-B), 26, 35 of the Arms Act.

3. The police on tip of assemblage of some miscreants raided the place of occurrence and apprehended two persons, namley, Mithilesh Kumar and Karthik Kumar.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70247 of 2025(2) dt.08-10-2025 2/3 from the narratives made in the F.I.R., prima facie, it appears that the petrol pump in question was under construction; the persons who were claiming themselves as security guards had in fact, never been employed by the petitioner. The petitioner has no concern with the persons, who were apprehended by the police nor with the alleged recovered country made pistol and Desi Katta. The accusation against the petitioner is based upon the disclosure made by the apprehended person before the police which has no evidentiary value in the eyes of law, is the contention of the learned Advocate for the petitioner. The petitioner is a man of fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the proceedings of the Court. It is lastly contended that even if the allegation is taken to be true, no offence(s) much less as alleged in the F.I.R. is made out against the petitioner.

5.

On the other hand, the learned Advocate for the State vehemently opposed the bail application and submits that the recovery of the country made pistol and Desi Katta from the premises of the petitioner clearly shows his complicity in the crime.
