JUDGMENT 1. - This order governs the disposal of bail application flied under Section 439 of Cr.PC. by Shri Harendra Singh, Advocate on behalf of the petitioner pertaining to F.I.R. No. 161/2009 of Police Station Tapukada, District Alwar in the offence under Section 4/5 of the Indian Explosives Act, 1908. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the material on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has canvassed that he was simply a carrier of 10 bags which contained ammonium nitrate. The petitioner did not know, at the time of loading of these 10 bags, that these bags contained ammonium nitrate. He is an innocent man and has committed no offence. The petitioner has been in custody for quite a long time and as such, he may be granted indulgence of bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail petition on the ground that this ammonium nitrate is being used for preparing bombs, which may endanger the life of people. The Government of India as also the Government of Rajasthan has taken the possession of any explosive substance very seriously in the present times, as the activities of the extremists are on high rise. The offences under Section 4 and 5 of the Indian Explosives Act, 1908 are punishable with life imprisonment and in view of this legal and factual position, the petitioner should not be granted indulgence of bail. 5. Having considered the submissions made at the bar and carefully perused the material on record but keeping in view the gravity of the offence as in the present times, possession of any explosive substance may put the life of the people in peril, I without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, do not feel inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and his bail petition deserves to be dismissed. 6. In the result, the bail application filed under Section 439 Cr.PC. on behalf of accused-petitioner Jamshed is dismissed.Bail Refused. *******
