4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.51707 of 2026(2) dt.29-07-2026
petitioners were not arrested from the spot as such nothing was recovered from their conscious possession and they came to be implicated merely for the reason that the alleged recovery was made near the house of the petitioners and they came to be implicated at the instance of Chowkidar with whom they are on an inimical term.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners and submits that from perusal of the allegations as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that country made pistol was also recovered and investigation in the case is continuing.
6. Considering the submission made by learned APP, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
7. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.
