Allegation is that there is a recovery of 1495 liters of foreign liquor from the Scorpio vehicle and also from roadside. One person was arrested and petitioner was succeeded in fleeing away. It further appears that petitioner is accused in large number of cases, altogether 8 cases, out of which he is accused in 6 cases of similar nature.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has been implicated only on the basis of discloser made by some persons. He is in custody since 16.12.2019.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7125 of 2020(2) dt.06-02-2020 2/2 Heard learned A.P.P. who has opposed the prayer for bail.

Having heard both sides, considering the allegation and antecedent, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, if the trial has not been concluded within a period of 6 months, petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) Ankit/- U T
