Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Case No. C2-97/21, registered for the offence punishable under Section 30(A) of the Bihar Prohibition Excise Act, 2016.

The allegation is regarding recovery of 162 liters of illicit liquor from a car.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32299 of 2021(2) dt.10-12-2021 2/3 The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case, he is having a clean antecedent and he is languishing in custody since 12.2.2021. The learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to paragraph no. 13 of the present petition to submit that the car in question does not belong to the petitioner. Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the fact that the car does not belong to the petitioner and the petitioner is languishing in custody since 12.2.2021, I deem it fit and proper to direct for release of the petitioner on regular bail.

Accordingly, the above named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32299 of 2021(2) dt.10-12-2021 3/3 two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned ADJ-II, cum Special Judge, Excise Act, Sitamarhi in connection with Case No. C2-97/21.
