IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4275 of 2008 BIPIN YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04/ 27.08.2008 Heard. The petitioner is in custody in a case under Sections 414 IPC & 25 etc. of the Arms Act. The allegation is of recovering a country made pistol loaded with a cartridge from the possession of the present petitioner. The petitioner was found in company of a couple of other accused persons also, out of whom, as per the rejection order Karu Yadav is a notorious criminal. The contention is that probably the petitioner was facing the consequences of falling in a bad company or being found in the company of bad elements. The further contention is that the petitioner has fair antecedent and that he has already remained in custody for ten months. Be that as it may, considering the recovery, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner. Petition is dismissed. However, as soon as the petitioner completes one year of confinement in Atri P.S. Case No. 82 of 2007 from the date of his remand in the case, the Chief Judicial - 2 - Magistrate, Gaya shall release him on execution of a bond by the petitioner of his own satisfaction.
