During the search, a homemade firearm with one live round and one charging cable and a shoulder bag were recovered. 5. On arrest of the accused persons including the two accused applicants herein, they intimated that some other persons had fled from the spot. The apprehended persons belong to the State of Uttar Pradesh and alleged to have come to Assam to commit dacoity. 6. On receipt of the FIR, police registered Gossaigaon Police Station Case No. 155/2026 under the aforementioned sections. 7. The learned counsel appearing for the accused applicants submits that accused applicants have been arrested merely on the basis of suspicion of committing dacoity, however, no dacoity has been reported in and around that area. She submits that the accused applicants are already behind the bars for 73 days and further custodial detention in the instant matter may not be required. Therefore, she prays for enlarging the accused applicants on bail. 8. Ms. A. Begum, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, on the other hand, opposes the prayer of bail of the accused applicants. She submits that on perusal of the statements as well as other materials available in the case diary, the same clearly indicates and implicates the accused applicants' involvement in the offence as narrated in the FIR. Therefore, she opposes the prayer for bail. Page No.# 4/4 9. This Court has heard the submissions made by the counsel appearing for the respective parties. This Court has also perused the case diary that has been received. 10. Taking into account the fact that the accused applicants have been apprehended by the villagers, who have been found in possession of a country-made gun with live ammunition, and the investigation in the instant case is in progress, this Court is not inclined to grant any bail to the accused applicants at this stage. 11. Accordingly, the instant bail application is rejected JUDGE Comparing Assistant
