IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38349 of 2008 RAM BABU SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 15.10.2008 Heard Sri R.B.S.Pahepuri, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The case is under various Sections of the Arms Act. The petitioner along with co-accused is alleged indulging in dealing with arms after manufacturing it and on such information the police claimed recovering an effective country made pistols from the possession of the petitioner when his house was raided. The rejection order indicates that the petitioner bears history of being accused in two cases under the Arms Act and one probably of dacoity. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner may be bearing a criminal history, but has spent nine months in custody. It was further contended that the story of recovery is false and fabricated. I do not find any reason to dismiss the allegations and specially the story of recovery of arms summarily specially when the petitioner bears a history of repeated indulgence in similar offence. Considering the nature of the offence and the previous history of the petitioner, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
