3. It has been alleged that when the police have reached the house of one Raja Miya, the appellant, who was trying to flee away, was apprehended and on his disclosure the house of Dabbu Tudu was searched and from where several explosive substances were recovered.

5. Learned senior counsel submits that the appellant was merely standing outside the house when the police came and conducted raid and therefore, no incriminating article has been recovered from his possession.
