Mr.APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 30-07-2021 Heard Mr. Radha Mohan Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Akshay Lal Pandit, learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Bhagwan Bazar P. S. Case No. 419 of 2020, dated 14.09.2020, instituted for the offence under Section 30 (a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act, 2018.

Regard being had to the fact that the petitioner was earlier made accused in five cases of similar nature, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him,

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3893 of 2021(2) dt.30-07-2021 2/2 notwithstanding the fact that in all such cases, he has been granted bail.

The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the court below and seeks bail that shall be considered on its own merits, without being prejudiced by the fact that the present petition on his behalf has not been entertained by this Court.
