Petitioner apprehends arrest in connection with Chapra Muffasil Excise Case No. 75 of 2012 registered for the offence punishable under sections 47(a) of the Excise Act. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case merely on basis of suspicion due to previous enmity. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of this petitioner. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the present case is of the year 2012 and the petitioner has come up before this Court

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14059 of 2020(2) dt.03-07-2020 2/2 now in the year 2020. Petitioner, therefore, does not deserve to be granted the privilege of bail.

Considering the nature of allegations levelled, the materials available on record and the submissions advanced on behalf of the parties, this Court does not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The same is, therefore, rejected.
