IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2203 of 2009 NIRANJAN BIND Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 18.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for petitioner NIRANJAN BIND who is incarcerated since 20.10.2008 in connection with Naya Ramnagar P.S. Case No. 88 of 2004 registered under various sections of the Arms Act. It is alleged that the petitioner was identified while fleeing from the place where illegal arms were being manufactured. The premises itself contained several machinery used for the purposes of manufacturing arms and some unfinished arms were recovered as would be apparent from the seizure list annexed with the fardbeyan. The petitioner is also said to have absconded and has been shown as an absconder in the charge sheet that has been submitted. The submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the fact of the petitioner being an absconder is a misstatement since there is nothing to show that any summons, warrant or processes were issued against him or even that the police had raided his house. This is a matter which is to be seen in course of the trial. So far as the petitioner is concerned he has been in custody since 20.10.2008 and no recovery of any fire arms manufactured or unmanufactured or any parts thereof were recovered from his persons. Be that as it may in the facts and circumstances of the case the petitioner NIRANJAN BIND is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two - 2 - sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate in connection with Naya Ramnagar P.S. Case No. 88 of 2004. Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
