5. After going through the records, I find that the police got secret information that in the house of this petitioner, some persons have assembled who are dealing with illegal fire arms. Except Sonu Mahtha, this petitioner and others managed to flee. From the house country-made pistol and cartridges were recovered.
6. Considering the nature and the fact of the case this Anticipatory Bail Application stands dismissed.
