Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.47566 of 2017 (2) dt.12-10-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and in view of recovery of huge quantity of liquor, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

However, once charge has been framed in this case or petitioner completes five months period in judicial custody, whichever is earlier, the court below will release the petitioner on bail to its own satisfaction, if an application for bail is filed on behalf of petitioner, on the conditions that one of the bailors shall be a local having sufficient immoveable properties within the jurisdiction of court and if involvement of petitioner in such type of cases is found in future, his bail bond shall be cancelled. With the above observation, this application is disposed of.
