2   06-05-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in

                   connection with a case registered for the offences punishable

                   under Sections 310(4) & (5) of the BNS and Sections 25(1-B)

                   (a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act.

                                3. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the

                   police received information that certain miscreants had gathered

                   for committing some offence. Acting on such information, a raid

                   was conducted and, from the possession of the petitioner, only a

                   mobile phone was recovered.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the

                   present case. It is further submitted that no incriminating article

                   has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner except
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29050 of 2026(2) dt.06-05-2026
                                                        2/2




                      a mobile phone. It is also submitted that the petitioner has been

                      languishing in judicial custody since 21.10.2025 and has no

                      criminal antecedent. Learned counsel further submits that a

                      similarly situated co-accused, namely Dhananjay Kumar @

                      Dhananjay Mahto has already been granted bail by a learned co-

                      ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 18.04.2026 passed

                      in Cr. Misc. No. 25328 of 2026, and the case of the present

                      petitioner stands on identical footing.

                                   5. Learned APP appearing for the State has opposed

                      the prayer for regular bail.

                                    6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

                      of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on

                      bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above-named, is directed to be

                      released on bail in connection with Marhowrah P.S. Case No.

                      704 of 2025, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees

                      Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

                      satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saran at

                      Chapra.
