Mr.Kumar Ranjit Ranjan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 04-11-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Mairwa P.S. Case No. 334 of 2021, registered for the offence punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.

172.800 litres of Indian made foreign liquor has been recovered from a tempo of which this petitioner is registered owner.

It is submitted that nothing has been recovered from conscious possession of this petitioner. Petitioner has got clean antecedent, as stated in para 3 of the petition. Counsel for the State vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that recovery has been made from

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48547 of 2022(2) dt.04-11-2022 2/2 tempo of this petitioner.

Considering the fact that huge quantity of illicit liquor has been recovered from tempo of this petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above-named on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected in view of the provision 76(2) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) vinita/- U T
