Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ravi Kant Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Rajendra Singh Shastriji, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 18-03-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This is an application for bail in connection with Bihta P.S.Case No. 897 of 2016 registered for the offences punishable under Section 30(A) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Amendment Act, 2016.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner was not apprehended at the spot and signature of family member of petitioner has not been obtained in the seizure list and petitioner is in custody for more than three months. Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for bail stating that there is recovery of 70 litres of country made liquor.

Having heard both sides and in view of the fact that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.9213 of 2017 (3) dt.18-03-2017 2/2 there is recovery of 70 litres of country made liquor, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after completion of six months in custody before the court below and if such an application is filed the court below will consider the same and pass an appropriate order considering the period of custody of the petitioner.

This application is, accordingly, disposed of. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
