The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Halsi P.S. Case No.98C2 of 2008 registered under Sections 47(a)(f) of the Excise Act, 1915, pending in the court of the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Lakhisarai. The accusation is that in course of raid made by the Sub Inspector, Excise, 200 kilograms Jawa Mahua, 10 liters illicit country made liquor and apparatus for manufacturing the liquor were recovered from the hut of the petitioner while petitioner succeeded in fleeing away from there.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.9744 of 2016 (2) dt.18-04-2016 2/2 submits that while the hut of the petitioner was raided in day time but it would appear from the seizure list that the witnesses are not belonging to the P.O. village rather they belong to the neighbour village.
Having considered the facts and the circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which shall be considered by the trial court on its own merit without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
