For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Umesh Chandra Verma For the Opposite Party/s :

Ms. Pushpa Sinha ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 06-12-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Piprakothi P.S. Case No. 341 of 2020 registered under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. Further he contended that petitioner has no concern with the alleged recovery. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State opposed the prayer of the petitioner by contending that petitioner is named in the first information report. On perusal of

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6916 of 2021(2) dt.06-12-2021 2/2 seizure list, it is apparent that the alleged recovery of illicit liquor has been made from the house of this petitioner. Hence, this is not a fit case for anticipatory bail. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. shailendra/- (Arvind Srivastava, J) U T
