IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45736 of 2009 FEKU ANSARI, son of Ganga Ansari Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 08.01.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 25(1-b) a, 26 of the Arms Act. Taking into consideration the fact that petitioner surrendered on account of call of amnesty and thereafter this case was surprisingly foisted upon him, let the petitioner who is in custody since 07.04.2009, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5000/-(five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of A.C.J.M., Bagaha, West Champaran in connection with Tr. No. 1078 of 2009 arising out of Bagaha P.S. Case No. 14 of 2009. Let the order of this court be communicated to the Advocate General to apply his mind as to whether any separate case should be instituted when an accused surrenders with arms on a call for general amnesty. In my opinion when an accused surrenders in such a situation, he should be given protection and not be further implicated in a case which, in effect, frustrates 2 the very object of the call for amnesty.
