Patna: The Patna High Court on Thursday rejected the regular guarantee of Mokama Mla Anant Kumar Singh in connection with the alleged recovery of AK-47 attack rifles and hand grenades from his home in Nadwan Village in Rural Patna.
Apart from the rifle, 26 live cartridges and two military hand grenades wrapped in carbon papers recovered from their homes during police attacks on August 16, 2019.

Since then, he is behind the bar at the Beur Central Jail.
Activities that violate the law (prevention) were strictly called in the FIR against Singh, but was dropped from Chargesheet.
The petition of the bail, submitted in June this year, has come to hear before the judicial bench Anjani Kumar Sharan.

Ajay Kumar Thakur’s lawyer, who appeared for MLA, argued that the trial had not been completed in this case even though the High Court had ordered its settlement of nine months last year.
The additional public prosecutor Ajay Mishra opposed Thakur’s argument, proposed that all prosecution witnesses had continued in the trial within six months after the HC command.
He handed over it because Singh that the trial was delayed because he did not appear before the court to complete the procedure.
This for the second time the High Court has rejected Singh’s regular bail applicants in this case.
On June 11, 2020, Prabhat Kumar Jha JHA had rejected a guarantee request and asked for a low court to conduct a daily trial in this case and concluded it in nine months.
