Ms.Gulnar Begum ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SATYAVRAT VERMA ORAL ORDER 07-07-2026 1.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State, Ms. Gulnar Begum. 2.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Excise Act.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has antecedent of one case as would manifest from supplementary affidavit. It is next submitted that allegation is of recovery of 10.140 litres of liquor from bathan of the petitioner. 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not arrested from the spot as such nothing was recovered from his conscious possession and bathan is an open place thus is accessible to villagers at large. It is next submitted

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.44154 of 2026(2) dt.07-07-2026 2/3 that no prudent person would use his own bathan for committing an occurrence and thus would create evidence against himself and hence would get implicated. It is further submitted that it appears that someone inimical to the family members concealed meagre amount of liquor with an intent to implicate petitioner and his family members. It is next submitted that he came to be implicated based on secret information which is the easiest way to implicate someone without holding a proper investigation. 5.

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

6.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned trial court within a period of six weeks from today, be released on Provisional anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court where the case is pending/successor court in connection with Vaishali (Belsar OP) P.S. Case No. 134 of 2026, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. 7.

It is made clear that thereafter the learned Trial Court shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.44154 of 2026(2) dt.07-07-2026 3/3 in the event if it is found that petitioner has antecedent of more than one case then it would be presumed that petitioner, for the purposes of seeking anticipatory bail, had concealed his antecedent before this Court, as such, the provisional anticipatory bail order shall not be confirmed, but after verification if it is found that petitioner has antecedent of one case in that event the provisional anticipatory bail order shall be confirmed forthwith.
