Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Ranitalab P.S. case no. 140 of 2209 registered under sections 25(1-B)a/ 26/34 of the Arms Act. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has retired from the post of L. Nayak, having Arms license vide annexure-2 and 2/1. It is submitted that only allegation against the petitioner is that he is alleged to have handed over one rifle to co-accused Kariman Singh who is already in judicial custody. Be that as it may, this court is not inclined to accede to the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. . The prayer is accordingly rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and makes a prayer for regular bail, then same may be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order and also by taking into consideration that petitioner happens to be retired Army Personnel.
