I have gone through the first information report and glanced through the other annexures to the bail application. 3. The property that was stolen included one Pistol and one Revolver, the description and serial numbers of which have been mentioned in the F.I.R. 4.

The description of the Revolver and Pistol that was recovered in the course of investigation, tallies with the description of the stolen Revolver and jpc ba1092-11.sxw 2 Pistol.
