                                              Versus
                                       STATE OF BIHAR
                                            -----------

3. 29.6.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the

offence under Sections 414, 121 and 121A of the Indian Penal

Code and 25(1-b)A/26/35 of the Arms Act as well as 17 of the

Criminal Law Amendment Act and 15, 16, 17 of the Unlawful

Activity Prevention Act.

When the Tavera car, which the petitioner was driving,

was intercepted on suspicion, from the possession of the petitioner

some cartridges were recovered and from between the seats in the

front in a bag huge amount of cartridges were recovered.

The submission is that from the conscious possession of

the petitioner only 15 cartridges were recovered, whereas rest of

the recovery was not from his conscious possession.

However, considering the huge number of cartridges

that have been recovered suggesting that the accused persons

were dealers in arms, I am not inclined to grant bail to the

petitioner.

The prayer for bail is rejected.

The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and

positively conclude the same within a period of nine months in view

of the serious nature of the offence. For summoning the witnesses
-2-

the court below shall resort to Section 62 and 66 of the Cr.P.C. so

that there is no unnecessary delay in the trial.
