IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.5971 of 2017 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -150 Year- 2016 Thana -SONO District- JAMUI ====================================================== Raj Kumar Raja, Son of Sri Nunu Mahto, Resident of Village- Singhia Buzurg North, Ward No. 01, P.S.- Bibhutipur, District- Samastipur. .... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner : Mr. Ambika Bhagat, ADvocate For the Opposite Party : Mr. Bhanu Pratap Singh (APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 22-02-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Sono P.S. Case No. 150 of 2016, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 272 & 273 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 47/47(A) (S)/53 of the Bihar Excise (Amendment) Act.

Allegedly, from ERTIGA Car bearing No. BR33T/0007 which belongs to the petitioner huge quantity of illegal foreign liquor was recovered and the driver and other succeeded in fleeing away.

Submission is of false implication and that the petitioner is the owner of the car, he has got no knowledge that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.5971 of 2017 (2) dt.22-02-2017 2/2 driver was transporting the wine in the car and, as such, the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration. The learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer of pre-arrest bail.

In the facts and circumstances as stated above, considering the recovery of huge quantity of illegal wine from the car of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant privilege of prearrest bail to him and accordingly his such prayer stands rejected in connection with Sono P.S. Case No. 150 of 2016, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jamui. (Jitendra Mohan Sharma, J.) Rajiv/- U T
