IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24543 of 2008 BARAN SAHANI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 23.9.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused for the offence registered under sections 25(1-B)A, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act. The allegation against the petitioner is to the effect that live cartridges were recovered from the house of the petitioner and during the election day firing was made from the house which belongs to the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although the house belongs to the petitioner, but he is not residing in that house and the alleged firing was made near the house of the petitioner. It is further submitted that the police after investigation submitted final form for having no sufficient evidence. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner was the polling agent during the election in question. The learned APP on perusal of the 2 case diary submits that the witnesses have supported the prosecution case. Considering the submissions of the parties and the allegations made against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is, accordingly, dismissed.
