2   13-03-2026             Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP

                   for the State.

                           2.       The petitioner seeks bail in connection with

                   Udwantnagar P.S. Case No. 137 of 2025 instituted for the

                   offence under Sections 25(1-b)a, 26 & 35 of the Arms Act.

                   Earlier vide order dated 04.08.2025, passed in Cr. Misc. No.

                   46415 of 2025, anticipatory bail of the petitioner was rejected

                   by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court.

                           3.       Prosecution case in short is that there is recovery of

                   one country made pistol and five cartridges from the possession

                   of the co-accused.

                           4.       It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner

                   that the petitioner is in custody since 29.08.2025. Petitioner
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16293 of 2026(2) dt.13-03-2026
                                            2/3




          bears no criminal antecedents, as per disclosure made in

          paragraph No. 3 of the bail application.

                  5.      It has been further submitted by the petitioner’s

          counsel that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present

          case. It is submitted that petitioner has no concern with the

          recovered arms. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious

          possession of the petitioner. From perusal of the FIR, it would

          manifest that recovery is made from the possession of co-

          accused. Learned counsel next submits that police after

          investigation has already submitted charge sheet in this case.

          There is no compliance of Section 103 of the BNSS, 2023.

                  6.      Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently

          opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

                  7.      Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

          of the case, period of custody of the petitioner and charge sheet

          being submitted, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the

          petitioner.

                  8.      Let the petitioner be released on bail, after framing

          of charge, if not already framed, on furnishing bail bonds of

          Rs. 15,000/- (Fifteen Thousand) with two sureties of the like

          amount each to the satisfaction of Court below/concerned Court

          in connection with Udwantnagar P.S. Case No. 137 of 2025,

                     subject to the following conditions:

                             (I) One of the bailors shall be own/close member of the
