JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 2 18-03-2025 1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Marhowrah/Marhaura Police Station Case No. 668 of 2024, disclosing offences under Section 30(a) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016. 3. As per the prosecution story, on 05.12.2024 at 15:15, the Police, during a raid in Mirzapur village, saw a man fleeing with a gallon. When chased, he threw the gallon and escaped. The local choukidar identified him as Shambhu Manjhi. Upon search, 10 liters of country-made liquor was found in the gallon. A seizure list was prepared, and an FIR was lodged. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6730 of 2025(2) dt.18-03-2025 2/2 petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case on the basis of disclosure of his name made by a local choukidaar and nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession. 5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has been made accused on the basis of disclosure of his name by a local choukidaar and liquor has been recovered from an open space situated outside the house of the petitioner, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail. 6. This application is, accordingly, allowed. 7. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within four weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Excise Judge-2, Saran, in connection with Marhowrah/Marhaura Police Station Case No. 668 of 2024, subject to the condition laid down under Section 482 (2) of the B.N.S.S., 2023.
