Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30514 of 2026(2) dt.06-05-2026 2/3 petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case simply because the vehicle from which the illicit liquor was recovered, is registered in his name.

Petitioner has no concern with the alleged seized liquor nor he is involved in trade of liquor in any manner. Petitioner has clean antecedent.
