1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Section 30(a) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and allegation is of recovery of 120 litres of liquor from a bush behind Janaki temple. It is next submitted that petitioner was not arrested from the spot as such nothing was recovered from his conscious possession and even alleged recovery is from a place which is accessible to public at large and does not belong to the petitioner and he came to be implicated based on confessional statement of Adarsh Singh and Tej Prakash Singh in police custody, which

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21465 of 2024(2) dt.28-03-2024 2/2 does not have any evidentiary value, when petitioner admittedly is a person with clean antecedent.

4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
