Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Amarnath Jha, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Dr. Ajeet Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 2 07-05-2025 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned APP for the State. 2. The petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act in connection with Excise P.S. Case No.349 of 2020-21 3. Allegation is of recovery of 30 liters of liquor and 500 liters of raw material from a bamboo clump. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is quite innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. No incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious physical possession of the petitioner. Petitioner has no concern either with the seized liquor or any trade of liquor. 5. The learned APP for the State has vehemently Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27729 of 2025(2) dt.07-05-2025 2/2 opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner on the ground that petitioner carries one criminal antecedent other than the present one, but fairly submits on the basis of paragraph-3 of the petition in which petitioner is on bail. 6. Considering the fact that 30 liters of illegal countrymade liquor, two pieces of aluminum machine and 500 liters of raw material has been recovered and also the fact that the search and seizure memo is witnessed by two independent witnesses as per the requirement of law, prima facie it appears that the petitioner is involved in the trade of manufacturing illicit liquor. 7. Under these circumstances, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is rejected.
