RANCHI, India, May 15 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on April 13:
Heard Mr. Shailesh Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned Special P.P. appearing for the State.
This appeal is directed against the order dated 18.02.2026 passed in MCA No. 277 of 2026 arising out of Chirkunda P. S. Case No. 21 of 2026 by the learned Sessions Judge, Dhanbad whereby and whereunder the prayer for bail of the appellant has been rejected.
It has been alleged that the police had chased some motor-cyclists and the appellant was apprehended and from his possession one countrymade loaded pistol with live cartridge and brown sugar weighing 1.40 gm. were recovered.
It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has falsely been implicated in the present case and he is in custody since 18.01.2026. He has further submitted that in fact the appellant has only one criminal antecedent and not three as alleged by the prosecution.
Learned Special P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for bail of the appellant.
It appears that the appellant has three criminal antecedents as noted in the impugned order which is also evident from the criminal antecedent report and from his possession one loaded countrymade pistol and brown sugar were recovered.
Regard being had to the recovery and antecedent of the appellant, we are not inclined to admit the appellant on bail and the appeal is accordingly dismissed at this stage.
