Mr.Nand Kumar,APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 11-06-2020 This application has been placed for consideration by the order of the Hon'ble the Chief Justice through virtual court proceeding.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner in the present case is seeking anticipatory bail in connection with Katra P.S. Case No. 236 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 272, 273 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 30(a) and 38(i) of Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. It is submitted that there is no recovery of illicit liquor from the conscious possession of the petitioner.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.10173 of 2020(2) dt.11-06-2020 2/2 Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case wherein, there is specific allegation that in course of raid of the godown of this petitioner illicit liquor was recovered from the godown and in the anticipatory bail application there is no specific statement that the said godown does not belong to the petitioner, there being material to connect the petitioner with the present case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The application is, thus, dismissed.

In case the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail in the court below within a period of four weeks from today the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
