2025:CGHC:38858 NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR MCRC No. 6033 of 2025 Vedram Gond S/o Dhansingh Aged About 65 Years R/o Village Khanda, Police Station Seepat, District Bilaspur C.G. ...Applicant versus State Of Chhattisgarh Through The Station House Officer, Police Station Seepat, District Bilaspur C.G ... Respondent For Applicant : Mr. Ajay Kumar Chandra, Advocate. For Non-Applicant/State : Ms. Monika Thakur, Panel Lawyer. Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice Order on Board 05.08.2025 1. The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 349/2025, registered at Police Station Seepat, District – Bilaspur (C.G) for the offence punishable under Section 34(1)(A)(F) & 34(2) of the C.G. Excise Act. 2. As per the prosecution story brief, on 21-06-2025, during the patrolling period, the police of Police Station Seepat have received secrete VAIBHAV SINGH Digitally signed by VAIBHAV SINGH Date: 2025.08.06 18:40:59 +0530 information and on the basis of said information, raid was conducted and recovered total 145 bulk liter illicit liquor (wrongly written as 1145 Liter in the FIR) from the possession of present applicant, therefore crime has been registered against the applicant and arrested him. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the liquor has not been seized from the possession of the present applicant which was seized from the open place and the applicant deserves consideration for the grant of regular bail and there is no chance of applicant absconding from the local limits of the court and he is in jail since 21.06.2025 and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for releasing the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel appearing for the State/non-applicant opposes the bail application and submits that in the present case charge-sheet has been filed before the competent Court. She further submits that seized Total quantity 145 bulk liter country made liquor from the possession of the applicant. As such, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the offence alleged against the applicant, and the fact that 155 bulk liters of country-made liquor have been seized from the possession of the applicant, which is a huge quantity, without any valid license, and no plausible explanation has been offered in this regard, furthermore, considering the gravity and seriousness of this case, and it being unlikely to be a case of false implication, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicants on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant namely, Vedram Gond, involved in Crime No. 349/2025, registered at Police Station Seepat, District – Bilaspur (C.G) for the offence punishable under Section 34(1)(A)(F) & 34(2) of the C.G. Excise Act, is rejected. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaibhav
