Mr.Ram Naresh Ray ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 18-04-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in Daudpur P.S. Case No. 45 of 2021, registered for the offence punishable punishable under Sections 272, 273 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016. 250 litres of Nepali liquor along with cash of Rs. 1100/- has been recovered from possession of co-accused Dhiraj Kumar Puri who disclosed the name of this petitioner as one of his accomplices.

It is submitted that no recovery has been made from conscious possession of this petitioner. Petitioner has got no concern with the seized liquor. Petitioner is in custody since 01.10.2021. Investigation is complete.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9753 of 2022(2) dt.18-04-2022 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.
