Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of bail pending trial to the petitioner in FIR No. 167 dated 23.7.2010, registered under Sections 25/54/59 of the Arms Act and Sections 17/20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, at Police Station Sadar Khanna, District Ludhiana. Allegations against the petitioner are that he visited Pakistan and got training to use deadly weapons. He was associated with terrorist organisation and provided funds to the terrorist organisations with the knowledge that the same will be used for committing terrorist activities. From his search, country made pistol of .315 bore along with five live cartridges of the same bore were recovered. He had even gone to Pakistan on fake passport. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. By simply saying that the petitioner visited Pakistan, does not make him member of terrorist organisation. He is in custody since 23.7.2010. Challan has already been presented on 17.11.2010. Since the trial will take long time to conclude, he be granted bail pending trial. Criminal Misc. -M No. 4902 of 2011 2 On the other hand, learned State counsel submitted that there are serious allegations against the petitioner. He is involved in anti social activities. It was also submitted that during investigation, it was found that on 10.4.2007, other co-accused Harwinder Singh gave reference to the accused regarding weapons training to other accused persons. He had gone to Pakistan on fake passport, which was recovered as per his disclosure statement. In Pakistan, the petitioner contacted the other terrorists. He also confessed that in the year 2007 Harwinder Singh gave him one 30 bore pistol and four live cartridges of the same bore to kill Baba Bhaniarawala and Baba Ashutosh Noormahal. He also confessed that he got training to use AK-47 rifle, pistols, hand Grenade and RDX. Prayer is for rejection of bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the seriousness of allegations against the petitioner, I do not find this to be a fit case for grant of bail. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. 4.11.2011 ( Rajesh Bindal ) vs Judge
