                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SHAILENDRA SINGH
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   09-01-2026                     Heard Mr. Keshav Bhardwaj, learned counsel for

                   the Petitioner and Mr. Madhura Nand Jha, learned APP for the

                   State.

                                  2. Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with

                   Teghra P.S. Case No. 256 of 2025 dated 20.08.2025 registered

                   for the offence punishable under Sections 25(1-B)(a) and 26 of

                   the Arms Act.

                                 3. The main submissions advanced by the petitioner’s

                   counsel are that the recovery of a country-made pistol, that too

                   without any bullet, is said to have been made from the

                   possession of the petitioner before police personnel only and not

                   before independent persons, the petitioner bears no criminal

                   antecedent and has been languishing in jail since 20.08.2025
           Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.86900 of 2025(2) dt.09-01-2026
                                                       2/2




                     and the investigation against him has been completed, therefore,

                     the release of the petitioner on bail at this stage will not affect

                     the prosecution in any manner, as the main prosecution

                     witnesses who are to be examined in the trial of the petitioner

                     are official persons.

                                  4. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer

                     for bail of the petitioner.

                                  5. Considering the aforesaid submissions, mainly the

                     petitioner’s young age, his period of custody, coupled with the

                     fact that in the trial of the petitioner the main prosecution

                     witnesses who are to be examined are police personnel, the

                     release of the petitioner will not affect the prosecution in any

                     manner at this stage and also, taking into account the

                     completion of investigation against the petitioner, this Court is

                     inclined to release him on bail. Accordingly, let the petitioner

                     named-above be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

                     20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the

                     like amount each to the satisfaction of the concerned Court in

                     connection with Teghra P.S. Case No. 256 of 2025.
