Mr.Bishweshwar Ram, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 24-04-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

02. In the present case, the petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Pakaridayal P.S. Case No. 27 of 2026 registered for the alleged offences under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.

03. As per prosecution case, police received secret information about petitioner selling country made chulai liquor from his house and a raid was conducted on the house of the petitioner and recovery of 30 litres of country made chulai liquor was made but the petitioner fled away from the spot.

04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Petitioner was not apprehended from the spot and nothing

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24883 of 2026(2) dt.24-04-2026 2/2 incriminating has been recovered from his conscious possession. The house from which recovery has been made is a joint family property and it cannot be said with certainty that it was the petitioner who had kept the liquor in the house. Petitioner has antecedent of one case.

05. Learned APP for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned APP for the State submits that the recovery has been made from the house of the petitioner and no other person has been made accused in this case. Petitioner is having antecedent of similar nature and he is a habitual offendor.

06. Having regard to the fact that police recovered illicit liquor from the house of the petitioner, I do not think it is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail and hence, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected.
