For the Petitioners/s : Mr. Jyoti Ranjan Jha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Umesh Lal Verma ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 11-10-2017 The petitioners seeks regular bail in connection with Special Case No. 1194 of 2017, arising out of Economic Offence P.S. Case No. 5/2017, registered for offences punishable under Sections 30A, 38 and 41 of Bihar Excise Act.

Allegation against the petitioners is of recovery of more than three thousand litres of illegal wine.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they have falsely been implicated in this case and only happens to be driver and khalasi of the truck from which alleged recovery was made and the seized wine belongs to other persons. Further they are in custody for last seven months.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.46822 of 2017 (2) dt.11-10-2017 Learned counsel for the State as well as learned Senior Counsel, appearing of behalf of Economic Offence Unit, opposed the prayer for bail.

Having heard both sides, considering the fact and circumstances of the case and huge quantity of recovery, I am not inclined to release the petitioners on bail rather their application is disposed of with direction to the trial court to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period five months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the trial court shall release the petitioners on bail to his own satisfaction.
