This is an application for bail in connection with Magadh Medical P.S. Case No. 26 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 30(A) and (d) of Bihar Excise Amendment Act.

Allegation is of recovery of 37 litres of liquor from the co-accused, who has disclosed the name of the petitioner. Further it appears that he is accused in one more case of similar nature. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that on the basis of confessional statement he has been made accused in this case and so far other case is concerned, he is on bail. Further submission is that he is in custody for two months. Heard learned APP also.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.49141 of 2017 (2) dt.13-10-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and in view of the allegation as well as criminal antecedents, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of three months by conducting trial on day to day basis. If trial is not concluded within the said period, trial court will release the petitioner on bail to its own satisfaction on the condition that he will co-operate in disposal of trial.

With the above observation, this application is disposed of.
