Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26206 of 2022(2) dt.26-08-2022 2/2 in the FIR. She has been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. Her name transpired in the case on the basis of secret information. Petitioner has neither been apprehended on the spot nor any incriminating article has been recovered from her conscious physical possession. The said liquor has been recovered from the common house of the petitioner. Petitioner has no concern either with the seized liquor or any trade of liquor. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as also mentioned in para-3 of this application.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for grant of bail Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, since the recovery has been made from the house of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge her on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on her behalf is hereby rejected. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
