Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sharda Nand Mishra, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. S. Dayal, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER
2 06-11-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Chhouradano P.S. Case No. 70/2005 registered under Sections 25(1-B) (a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act.
Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is involved in at least eight other cases and in the present case, the Magistrate concerned had issued summon against him in the year 2011 itself, I am not inclined to grant him anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is rejected.
In case the petitioner surrenders and seeks bail, the
