Allegation is of recovery of 468 litres of foreign liquor. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and he has falsely been made accused in this case. Further petitioner has no criminal antecedent and has been in judicial custody since 04.08.2017.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.45857 of 2017 (2) dt.19-09-2017 stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail rather his application is disposed of with the direction to the court below to release the petitioner to his own satisfaction once charge is framed in this case or petitioner completes four months in judicial custody, whichever is earlier.
