For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Jitendra Kumar Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 05-12-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Bahadurpur P.S. Case No. 236 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under Section 30(a) and 41(i) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.

Considering that huge quantity of illicit liquor kept in 85 cartons was recovered from the truck being driven by the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him bail for the present. The prayer for bail is rejected.

The court below is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible preferably within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of the order.

In case, the trial is not concluded within the

2/2 stipulated period, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.

Since the court proceedings are being conducted through virtual mode and normal court functioning has not been restored till date, it is considered appropriate to adopt the following procedure for communication of the present order:- (i) The order, which has been dictated during the course of proceeding of the virtual court, shall be communicated to me on my e-mail by the Sr.

Secretary.

(ii) The corrected copy of the order shall be transmitted by me from my e-mail id to the Sr. Secretary, which shall be treated to be an authentic copy of the order passed by this Court in the present proceeding. (iii) Hard copy of the order duly signed by me shall be preserved in my residential office for documentation and future use, if any.

(iv) Let steps be taken by the Sr. Secretary/registry for up- loading of the present order without compromising with the norms of social distancing.
