Mr.Dinesh Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 18-01-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner is accused in connection with Naokothi P.S. Case No.27 of 2019 registered under Section 25(1-b)a/26 of Arms Act pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge, District- Begusarai.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. The so called witnesses of seizure list are not independent witnesses rather they have inimical terms with the petitioner, in fact, with the connivance of these witnesses the petitioner has been implicated in a false case. Petitioner is in custody since 24.03.2019.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78789 of 2019(3) dt.18-01-2020 2/2 Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State opposed the prayer of the petitioner with submission that petitioner was arrested from the place of incidence with country made pistol and bullets. Petitioner has criminal antecedents and the charge-sheet has been submitted against the petitioner. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and nature of allegation, I am not inclined to allow the prayer of the petitioner for bail. Accordingly, this application is rejected.

However, petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge.
