JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 28-01-2019 The petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Saharsa Sadar P.S.

Regard being had to the recovery of 13.68 litres of liquor from a motorcycle which is stated to be of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him. However, if the petitioner surrenders within a period of four weeks from today and prays for regular bail, the Court below shall take into account that nothing was recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner

The petition is disposed off.
