Mr.Veena Rani Prasad ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 23-09-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State.
The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 30(a), 34, 36, 41, 44 of the Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act.
There is recovery of 66.375 litres of Indian made foreign liquor from house of co-accused Loknath Ray @ Loknath Ray. The other petitioners are family members of Loknath Rai.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in the present case. The petitioners were not apprehended from the spot. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioners. A statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioners have no criminal antecedent.
3/4 Considering the fact that illicit liquor has been recovered from the house of Loknath Rai @ Laknath Rai (Cr. Misc.

Misc. No. 34606 of 2022) stands rejected.
So far as other petitioners are concerned, since they are family members of petitioner Loaknath Ray @ Laknath Rai, whose application for grant of bail has been rejected, let the petitioners, above named, except petitioner Loaknath Ray @ Laknath Ray(Cr. Misc. No. 34606 of 2022) in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/-(Ten Thousands) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge, Excise, Patna in connection with Nadi P.S.
