CRM-M-20555-2026 2 was held that no grounds were made out for releasing the beer bottles on superdari.
3. Learned State counsel submits that the offence in question is serious in nature and, therefore, the case property ought not to be released on superdari.
4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record.
5. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the considered view that keeping the beer bottles in police possession till the conclusion of the trial is not feasible as the same will get expired/deteriorated as trial will take a long time to conclude. Accordingly, the prosecution is directed to preserve the samples of the recovered beer and the remaining consignment be handed over to the Excise Department who shall look into the matter. In case, the beer is found to be unfit for sale or has expired, the same shall be disposed in accordance with law under the supervision of the ld. Trial Court and if the beer is found to be fit for sale and within its permissible shelf life, the Excise Department shall sell the same in accordance with the prescribed procedure and deposit the sale proceeds before the trial Court, subject to the final outcome of the trial.
6. The present petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
