5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.
6. Considering the fact and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of offence levelled against the applicant and the fact that in the present case charge-sheet has not been filed before the competent Court however, a huge quantity of liquor, i.e. 155 bulk liters hand made kachi mahua liquor and 570 Kilogram mahua Lahan have seized from the possession of the applicant without any valid licence and no plausible explanation has been offered in this regard, furthermore, considering the gravity and seriousness of this case and it cannot be a case of
false implication, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail.
7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant namely, Bhavesh Kurre, involved in Crime No. 49/2025, registered at Police Station Excise Circle Takhatpur District – Bilaspur (C.G) for the offence punishable under Section 34(1)(d), (p) 34(2), 59(A) of the Excise Act, is rejected.
