IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39176 of 2008 RAMAKANT YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 9.1.2009 Heard Mr. F. Ahmad Khan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Dashrath Mehta, learned A.P.P. The police raided a house after having received some information that dreaded criminal Banshi Yadav could be hiding in some houses. It further appears that from the house of one Mansa Yadav the police recovered one D.B.B.L. gun and a country made rifle and a few cartridges. An old lady Banhi Devi was found there and she stated that co-accused Munna Yadav has brought and kept the arms and ammunitions but those belonged to the present petitioner. As regards antecedent of the petitioner he had been reported accused in as many as eight cases of different nature like sections 364, 302, 395, 307 etc. of the Indian Penal Code and Arms Act. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner attempted to explain the number of cases by submitting three out of eight cases arise from one incident and two from the other. At any rate, the petitioner does not deny some of the cases. Regard being had to the material and the innocent statement of the old lady indicating that the arms could be belonging to this petitioner, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner. The petition is dismissed. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
