Mrs.Pushpa Sinha, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 12-08-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State through virtual Court proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioners undertakes to remove the defects within four weeks of resumption of normal court proceedings. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within stipulated period, office will place the matter before the Bench. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Risiyap P.S. Case No.56 of 2021, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420/120(B) of the IPC and section 30(a) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act, 2018. Allegedly 900 litres of foreign liquor is said to have been recovered from a pickup van near the Primary Health Centre and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22665 of 2022(2) dt.12-08-2022 2/2 two persons were apprehended on the spot. They disclosed the involvement of the petitioners and others in the said business. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. Petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case due to village politics. They have not been apprehended on the spot nor any incriminating article has been recovered from their conscious physical possession. They have no concern either with the recovery of the illicit liquor or any trade of liquor. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail by submitting that petitioners are members of the syndicate involved in business of liquor and huge recovery has been made. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since the petitioners are the members of the syndicate of involved in business of illicit liquor, I am not inclined to enlarge them on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on their behalf is hereby rejected.

This application is accordingly dismissed.
