Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to the report at page no. '9' to show that nothing was recovered from premises of the petitioner or his conscious possession, rather in the case from the house of co-accused

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36257 of 2018(2) dt.28-06-2018 2/2 Suddu Paswan total about 47.220 liters of foreign liquor was recovered and petitioner without any rhyme and reason has been arrayed as accused as if he was the supplier. In the report also nothing has been indicated except suspicion. Besides hearing, I have perused the materials available on record and after going through the same, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case for extending the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Accordingly , in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from today, let petitioner Pramod Chaudhary be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- ( rupees ten thousand ) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge Excise Act, Muzaffarpur / concerned court in connection with Excise Case No. 95 of 2018 (PR-06/18-19) Muzaffarpur subject to the conditions as contemplated under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
