Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Subhash Kumar Jha, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Pandey, A.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 2 13-02-2025 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 Ladaniya P.S. Case No. 244 of 2024, corresponding to G.R. No. 1075 of 2024, registered for the offence under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act. 3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that on 31.07.2024, at about 11 P:M, during the course of patrolling, informant received secret information, that the petitioner was carrying illicit liquor in the vehicle from Nepal to Khajauli. Upon such information, police intercepted the pick-up van but the driver fled away along with other co- accused person. Petitioner and co-accused person was identified by the local chaukidar. Upon search 1958.04 litre of Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2510 of 2025(2) dt.13-02-2025 2/2 illicit liquor has been recovered from the pick-up van bearing Registration No. BR01GC 6797. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case on the basis of his identification by the local chaukidar. The pick-up van from where the liquor has been recovered, does not belong to the petitioner. 6. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that petitioner is having six criminal antecedents of similar nature and it appears that he is habitual offender and he has been identified by the chaukidar, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the prayer of petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. Siwani/- (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) U T
