The petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Paroo P.S. Case No. 231 of 2020, dated 29.04.2020, instituted for the offences under Sections 30 and 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016. Regard being had to the nature of accusation and also taking into account the fact that the petitioner was made accused in one case of similar nature in the past, I am not inclined to grant him anticipatory bail.

The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, accordingly, rejected.
