2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Dumra P.S. Case No. 119 of 2024 for the offence punishable under Sections 399, 402, 413 and 414 of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 25(1-B)a, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act lodged on 18.03.2024 by the informant, Amrendra Kumar.
3. As per the prosecution story, the informant upon secret information that the accused have assembled to commit crime, the place was raided and from Chandan Kumar Singh, there is recovery/seizure of country-made revolver and live cartridges, whereas from Bittu Kumar, a knife has been recovered. This petitioner managed to escape. This led to the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83256 of 2024(3) dt.05-03-2025 2/2 F.I.R.
4. Though learned counsel for the petitioner submits that only because of criminal antecedent he has been implicated in the matter, learned APP opposes the prayer submitting that he was the person present but managed to escape. Further, he also has criminal antecedent.
5. Taking into account the aforesaid submissions as also the materials on record coupled with the fact that the petitioner has criminal antecedent, in that background, it would be appropriate that he seek bail.
6. Accordingly, the petition stands dismissed. (Rajiv Roy, J) Vijay Singh/- U T
