This Court would expect that the petitioner's Counsel would honour his undertaking in the instant proceedings regarding supply of requisite court fee etc. within two weeks from the date he is called upon to do so by the office.

Petitioner seeks bail in Industrial Area PS Case No. 49 of 2020 registered under Sections 30(a) and 32 of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.

246 liters of illicit country made liquor is alleged to have been recovered from a vehicle from which three persons were fleeing.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that when he was apprehended in inebriated condition the petitioner has been remanded in this case though he is no concern with the same.
