IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25859 of 2010 MINTU MIAN @ MD.MINTU MIYAN S/O LATE KAILU MIAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 25.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 25 (1-B) A/26 of the Arms Act. Considering that the petitioner kept absconding for about 2 years even though he was named in the First Information Report and he has criminal antecedents, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it positively within a period of 9 months in view of the serious nature of the offence. Fahad.
