Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the opposite party – State. 3. Opportunity was granted to the State to oppose the anticipatory bail, which the State availed and opposed. 4. It is alleged that from one house, illegal arms were recovered, which were concealed. One Rubiya Khatoon was arrested and she stated that this petitioner who happens to be her brother-in-law, used to give her those arms for selling and she used to sell the same. 5. Though the petitioner is stating that the house does not belong to him but the same is a matter of investigation, which needs to be properly investigated. The fact remains that from the 2025:JHHC:11640 2 house, illegal arms were recovered and it is the lady accused who had taken the name of this petitioner to be one of person who was involved in buying and selling of illegal arms. 6. Thus, it is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application is dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant. Cp-3
