The Patna High Court on Wednesday rejected the bail plea of controversial RJD MP from Siwan Mohammed Shahabuddin in a case pertaining to recovery of foreign arms and ammunition from the MP's house during a police raid in April 2005.
Rejecting the bail application, a bench of Justice KK Mandal said "the petitioner (Shahabuddin) will have the liberty to renew his bail prayer after six months."
The police had conducted raids at Shahabuddin's ancestral house in Pratappur village of Siwan district on April 24, 2005 from where it recovered arms and ammunition in huge quantity.
The MP had filed an appeal against the order of a Siwan special court sentencing him to 10 years of imprisonment in September 2008 in this case.
The Patna High Court on Monday had granted him bail in another case relating to violation of Wildlife Protection Act.
Shahabuddin has been convicted in about half-a-dozen cases, including one in which he has been sentenced to life term for the kidnapping and suspected murder of CPI-ML activist Chotelal Gupta on February 7, 2007.
