2. The petitioners seek pre-arrest bail in connection with Hathua P.S. Case No. 69/2025 registered for the offence(s) punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.
3. As per the allegation made in the FIR, 270 litres of illicit liquor was recovered from a Scorpio vehicle bearing Registration No.BR06PA3397.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and have
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36708 of 2025(2) dt.18-06-2025 2/3 falsely been implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that the petitioners are not the owner of the vehicle, in question, from which the recovery of illicit liquor was made and as such, they have no connection with the alleged recovered liquor.
5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
6. Considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR and also the fact that petitioners are not the owner of the vehicle in question, I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Addl.

8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36708 of 2025(2) dt.18-06-2025 3/3 criminal antecedent of the petitioners and if it is found that the petitioners are involved in some other cases, as what has been stated in paragraph no.3 of the bail application, this order will automatically lose its force.
