For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Kalyan Shankar(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 25-03-2015 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 272 and 273 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 47(a) of the Excise Act. It is alleged that the police seized 1800 liters of sprit which were being unloaded by this petitioner but the petitioner managed to escape from the scene.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that only on suspicion, the accusation has been levelled since one of the prosecution witness Sri Rai, the village Chaukidar, was instrumental in getting the petitioner involved as the petitioner earlier filed Complaint Case No. 2293 of 2012 against him. The aforesaid facts constitute good ground for consideration of prayer for regular bail.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.12357 of 2015 (2) dt.25-03-2015 2/2 Let the learned court below consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner if he surrenders within a period of six weeks in connection with Taraiya P.S. Case No. 21 of 2015 pending in the court of learned JM, 1st Class, Saran, Chapra. Accordingly, the application is disposed of.
