IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32586 of 2009 SUDHIR PASWAN, Son of Late Raj Kumar Paswan, resident of Village Chulihari, Police Station Asthawan, District Nalanda. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 15/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the fact that the allegation in this case remains confined to an offence under sections 25/26 of the Arms Act with regard to alleged recovery of country made pistol and a live cartridge and the petitioner is in custody since 13th April, 2009, this court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner taking into account that he is wanted only in the present case as also in the earlier case being Asthawan P.S. Case No.43 of 2009. It is, however, made clear that if the petitioner is wanted in any other criminal case beyond the aforementioned two cases he will not be entitled for grant of bail. That being so, this Court would direct the court below to verify criminal antecedent of the petitioner and if it is found that the petitioner, namely, Sudhir Paswan, is not accused beyond the aforementioned two criminal cases, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri Sudhir Kumar Sinha, Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Biharsharif, Nalanda 2 in Asthawan P.S. Case No.44 of 2009 upon completion of period of six months of his judicial custody. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
