IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19115 of 2010 AVINASH KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 27.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is one of the two named accused persons apprehended during police patrolling. From the possession of petitioner, one pistol loaded with five cartridges was recovered showing that it was automatic and made in China. From the order of the court below, it appears that on examination the Sergeant Major found the pistol ineffective. The co-accused namely Dilip Singh appears to have been granted the privilege of bail by the court below itself. The petitioner is in custody since 8.02.2010 and since though reportedly ineffective but prohibited automatic firearms and ammunition were recovered from his possession. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, for the present, I am not inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Hence, it is rejected. Simultaneously, the court below is directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and if it is not concluded within one year of detention of the petitioner, he shall be at liberty to renew his prayer before the trial court itself.
