                                       ORAL ORDER

3   09-02-2026                        Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned

                   APP for the State and perused the case diary.

                                2. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with

                   Sangrampur P.S. Case No. 251 of 2025, instituted for the

                   offences punishable under Sections 25(1-B)(a), 26 and 35 of the

                   Arms Act.

                                3. The prosecution case, in short, is that there is

                   recovery of one loaded pistol along with two live cartridges

                   from the possession of co-accused person.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

                   present case. Charge-sheet has been submitted in this case. No

                   incriminating material has been recovered from the conscious

                   possession of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner

                   also submitted that the petitioner has got no concern with the
             Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.81266 of 2025(3) dt.09-02-2026
                                                         2/2




                       alleged recovery of arms. It is next submitted that the petitioner

                       was a passerby of that way and was arrested only on the basis of

                       suspicion. The petitioner is in custody since 28.06.2025 and has

                       got one criminal antecedent in which he is on bail. There is no

                       compliance of Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha

                       Sanhita, 2023. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits

                       that other co-accused has been granted regular bail by this Court

                       vide order dated 13.01.2026 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 85900 of

                       2025.

                                    5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed

                       the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

                                    6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

                       of the case and taking into account the period of custody

                       undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail

                       to the petitioner.

                                    7. Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing

                       bail bonds of Rs. 15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand) with two

                       sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Court

                       below/concerned Court in connection with Sangrampur P.S.

                       Case No. 251 of 2025.


                                                                   (Rudra Prakash Mishra, J)
