Mr.Lakshmi Kant Sharma ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 05-03-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP representing the State.

Petitioner is seeking anticipatory bail in connection with Guraru P.S. Case No. 1 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 30(A)(B)(C), 38(1) and 41(1) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is nothing to connect this petitioner in the present case inasmuch as neither recovery of illicit liquor has been made from any field belonging to him nor the police has any other reasons to implicate this petitioner. It is submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State is present and has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.12284 of 2019(2) dt.05-03-2019 2/2 It is apparent from the records that the seizure list shows the recovery of illicit liquor from one Ahar where paddy crops were stored.

Considering the nature of the materials available on the record not correctly connecting this petitioner, for the present, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Let in case of arrest or surrender of the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today, the abovenamed petitioner be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.15,000/- (rupees fifteen thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfication of the learned Special Judge, Excise, Gaya in connection with Guraru P.S. Case No. 1 of 2019, subject to the condition that petitioner shall join the investigation by reporting to the Investigating Officer within a period of two weeks from today and shall cooperate in course of investigation. This will be in addition to condition prescribed under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
