6. It has been alleged that the appellant was apprehended by the Police and from his possession arms and ammunitions were recovered. Though it has been submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant is in custody since 30.12.2022 and some of the co-accused persons have already been acquitted by the learned Trial Court but regard being had to the fact that the case is at the final stage of the argument as could be deciphered from the impugned order dated 21.07.2025, we are not inclined to interfere in the impugned order dated 21.07.2025 passed in M.C.A.
