This is the first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.155/2026 registered at Police Station City Kotwali District Raigarh (C.G.) for the offence under Sections 34 (2) & 59 (A) of the CG Excise Act. KRISHNA KUMAR BARVE Digitally signed by KRISHNA KUMAR BARVE Date: 2026.07.13 13:38:57 +0530 2 2. The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 24.3.2026, during patrolling, the concerned Police has received information from the informant that the applicant is possessing liquor in her house for sale. On the basis of above information, the police conducted a raid and found 10 bulk liters of country made liquor from the Verandah of her house. Thereafter the FIR was registered against the applicant. Hence the bail application. 3. It has been argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime. The seized article is not found from exclusive possession of the applicant. The prosecution has prepared a false and fabricated seizure against the applicant and, therefore, recovery and seizure is doubtful. The liquor which was recovered from the house of the applicant did not belong to the applicant. The applicant has 2 criminal antecedents registered against her under the Excise Act, which are pending. The applicant is in jail since 24.3.2026. Therefore, the applicant may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the State/non- applicant would oppose the bail application and submit that the applicant has 2 criminal antecedents registered against her under the Excise Act, which are pending, and the charge sheet has been submitted against the applicant. Therefore, the bail application may be rejected. 3 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, and the fact that the charge sheet has already been submitted against the applicant, the applicant has 2 criminal antecedents registered against her under the Excise Act, which are pending, which is mentioned in the bail application, this Court is not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of applicant – Saniya Jangade, involved in Crime No.155/2026, registered at Police Station City Kotwali, District Raigarh for the offence punishable under Section 34 (2) & 59 (A) of the CG Excise Act, is rejected.
