JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 26-04-2018 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.
This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Excise case no. 01 of 2018 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 30(A), 38 of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.
The allegation is regarding recovery of 321.84 ltrs. of illicit liquor from a market place.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that neither any recovery has been made from the conscious possession of the petitioner nor the provision of Section 100 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been complied while preparing seizure list, hence the entire seizure stands vitiated. It is further submitted
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.24610 of 2018 (2) dt.26-04-2018 2/2 that the petitioner is having clean antecedent. Considering the nature of accusation and the fact that prima facie, no case is made out under the provisions of the Excise Act, I deem it fit and appropriate to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order, is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs.
