The petitioner is said to be having licence for possessing arms, issued from Jammu and Kasmir. 4. Learned A. P. P. appearing for the State was earlier directed to file counter affidavit stating whether the licence, so produced by the petitioner, was actually issued by the Issuing Authority of Jammu and Kashmir or not. 5. It was submitted that the verification report regarding the authenticity of the license has not yet been received. It was further submitted that the police party was going to Jammu and Kashmir to verify the same. 6. The petitioner has remained in custody for about seven months. It appears that charge-sheet has been submitted in this case without verifying as to whether the petitioner was holding a valid licence or not. 7. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
