IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28688 of 2008 Md. Sarvare Islam, son of Late Haji Abdul Wahid, Mohalla Ali Nagar, PS and District Saharsa – petitioner. Vs. The State of Bihar. 2 21.6.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by order, dated 26.3.2008 by which the court has rejected the petition of the petitioner filed under section 227 of the Cr.P.C. The petitioner is the patron of Minority Youth Committee which is recognized by the Government of Bihar. The police raided the premises of the committee and discovered that half manufactured arms were there in the premises. It is submitted that it is only on the basis of suspicion that the petitioner has been made an accused in this case. Being a patron would not mean that the petitioner would be directly involved in the administration of the committee, and thus cannot be held responsible for the functioning and day to day affairs of the committee, or for that matter even be aware of what was taking place at the premises. In the circumstances this court finds that there is insufficient material to show that the petitioner was actively involved in the administration of the minority committee. Merely attending the meeting of the aforesaid committee would not make the petitioner directly responsible for any acts or commission which take place within the premises of the said committee. This court, thus, finds that the petitioner cannot be held responsible for the offences under sections 25(1- 2 b)A/26/33/35 of the Arms Act. Accordingly the order, dated 26.3.2008 passed in S.T. No. 317/2003 by the Addl. District and Sessions Judge cum FTC No. IV, Saharsa is hereby quashed so far as it concerns the petitioner. This application is allowed. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
