For the Petitioner/s :

Ms.Nitu Kumari For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Syed Mojibur Rahman ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 19-02-2019 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Excise Case No. CII 167/14/Trial No. 539/17 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 47(a) and 47(F) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. Allegation is of recovery of more than 3000 litres of liquor from the house of one Rambabu Rai and petitioner is named in the FIR as supplier of the same.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that except confessional statement there is nothing against him and he has no criminal antecedent.

Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and in view of recovery of huge quantity of liquor and petitioner is named in the FIR as

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.9492 of 2019(2) dt.19-02-2019 2/2 supplier, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, rather he should surrender and make prayer for regular bail, which shall be considered on its own merit, without being prejudiced by this order and, if possible, to be disposed of on the same day.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
