====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 11-04-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State.
The petitioner seeks bail in Navinagar P.S. Case No. 09 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2018.
300 litres of country made liquor has been recovered from Tata Indica Car of which this petitioner was driver. It is submitted that no recovery has been made from conscious possession of this petitioner. Petitioner was simply driving the vehicle and was not aware about the nature of consignment and has got no concern with the seized liquor. Petitioner is in custody since 08.01.2022. Investigation is complete.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8384 of 2022(2) dt.11-04-2022 2/2 Learned APP however vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that petitioner has got criminal antecedent of similar nature.
Considering the facts aforesaid and the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner abovenamed on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, once charge is framed and trial commences, the petitioner shall be released on bail by the learned trial court on its own satisfaction and on the condition that petitioner will cooperate in disposal of trial and appear before the court, as and when required.
