The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as she has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 39/2026, registered at Police Station Excise Circle Wadrafnagar, District – Balrampur-Ramanujganj, for the offences punishable under Sections 34(1)(a), 34(2), 36, and 59(A) of the Chhattisgarh Excise Act. 2. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the officials of Excise Circle Wadrafnagar received secret information from an informant and, on the basis of the said information, conducted a raid and seized 27 bulk liters of foreign liquor from the possession of the applicant. Consequently, the aforesaid Digitally signed by NADIM MOHLE 2 offences were registered against her. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the applicant would submit that the applicant is an innocent, she has falsely been implicated in the present case. He would further submit that the applicant has no criminal antecedents, the charge- sheet has already been filed, and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time; thus, he prays for the grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submitted that 27 bulk liters of foreign liquor was seized from the possession of the present applicant, and therefore, she is not entitled to the grant of regular bail. However, she does not dispute the fact that the charge-sheet has already been filed and that the applicant has no criminal antecedents. 5.

Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the allegations levelled against the applicant, the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents; further charge-sheet has already been filed and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, this Court is inclined to grant regular bail to the applicant.
