Mr.Veena Rani Prasad ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 25-03-2022 Heard the parties through virtual Court proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove the defects within four weeks of resumption of normal court proceedings. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within undertaken period, office will place the matter before the Bench. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Bhagwanpur P.S. Case No.61 of 2021, registered for the offence punishable under sections 272, 273 of IPC and 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Amendment Act, 2018. Altogether 10 litres of country made liquor is said to have been recovered from the cattle shed of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is quite innocent and has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. He has been falsely implicated in this case due to

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61874 of 2021(2) dt.25-03-2022 2/2 dirty village politics. Petitioner has neither been apprehended on the spot nor any incriminating article has been recovered from his conscious physical possession. Petitioner has no concern either with the seized liquor or any trade of liquor. The recovery is said to have been made from the cattle shed of the petitioner but the same is situated far away from his joint family house. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as also mentioned in para3 of this application. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, since the recovery has been made from the animal shed of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The prayer for bail is rejected and accordingly, the application is dismissed.
