IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36443 of 2008 SUNIL SHARMA … … Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR … … Opp. Party - - - - 2. 29.9.2008 Heard. For showing ascendance one of the parties to the land dispute hired some Goondas. Learning about the hiring of Goondas and their presence in the house of one of the accused, a raid was organized and some persons were arrested, this petitioner was one of the arrested persons. On search of the person of the petitioner a country made pistol with three live cartridges were recovered. The defence is that the petitioner is the relative of the co-accused Sachchidanand Sharma and it could not be connected with the petitioner to remain present in his house. The further contention is that it is true that the petitioner bears some record of previous indulgence in similar or same nature of offence but he is enjoying the privilege of bail in those past cases. One aspect to be considered by a court for granting/not granting bail, could be that the petitioner 2 may not indulge in any crime of same or more serious offence on release. The petitioner’s record is very strong as he bears five cases registered against him and considering that as also that he was arrested by the police and found in possession of the arms and ammunitions, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner. The petition is dismissed. Kanth ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
