He also submits that illicit liquor has not been recovered from the conscious possession and / or premises belonging to the petitioner. He next submits that the name of the petitioner has transpired on the basis of disclosure made by local people. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

5. Regard being had to the submissions advanced by the parties, taking into consideration the nature of allegation, the fact that seizure list shows that recovery has been made from the hut of the petitioner and in view of Full Bench judgment rendered in Cr. Appeal (SJ) No. 431 of 2019 (Ram Vinay Yadav versus The State of Bihar), I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected.

6. However, if the petitioner surrenders and seeks regular bail, the concerned court may consider the prayer for bail on the same day without being prejudiced by the fact that the present anticipatory bail application has been rejected by this court. (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) praful/- U T
