Mr. Nityanand, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 24-01-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Madanpur P. S. Case No. 230 of 2018 registered under Sections 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016. Considering allegation of recovery of more than 600 illicit spirit from pickup van from which the petitioner managed to flee on seeing the police party as also the provisions prescribed under sub-section (2) of Section 76 of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016, I am not inclined to grant him pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, the application for

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.77543 of 2018(2) dt.24-01-2019 2/2 grant of pre-arrest bail is rejected.
