For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Ajit Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 29-07-2019 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Chakiya P.S. Case No. 37 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 30(a) and 44(a) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.

Allegation against the petitioner is of recovery of 150 litres of liquor from his shop.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has falsely been implicated and he has no criminal antecedent.

Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail stating that there is prima facie case against the petitioner as such this application is not maintainable. In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32547 of 2019(3) dt.29-07-2019 2/2 petitioner. He may surrender and pray for regular bail, which shall be considered on its own merit, without being prejudiced by this order.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
