Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.5449 of 2019(2) dt.31-01-2019 2/2 has been granted bail.

Looking to the quantum of liquor recovered from the house of the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Court below within three weeks from today and prays for regular bail, the Court below will consider the same and pass appropriate order on the same day without being influenced by the order of this Court and also considering the fact that the father of the petitioner was arrested and has been granted bail.
