Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69009 of 2019(2) dt.14-11-2019 2/2 the apprehended accused were armed with arms and ammunitions. It is further submitted that recently the informant was apprehended by the S.S.P. on the allegation that he used to implicate innocent persons after putting liquor or arms in their house but it appears from perusal of the FIR itself that many persons had assembled in the house of the petitioner and on search huge quantity of arms and ammunitions were recovered from their possession but the petitioner managed to flee away. There is no material to show that the petitioner has got any enmity with the S.H.O. of Minapur P.S.

Taking into consideration the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.
