The prosecution story, as per the First Information report, is that 30 liters of illicit countrymade mahua liquor has been recovered from the bank of Sakari river. It is alleged that name of the petitioner has been surfaced in this case on the basis of disclosure made by the local chowkidar. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. He further submits that the place, from where Patna High Court CR. MISC.
