He further submits that the alleged Bajra field does not belong to the petitioner. The alleged recovery of illicit liquor has been made from the open place which is accessible to one and all. There is a non-compliance of Section 103 of the B.N.S.S. which creates a serious doubt in the prosecution case. The petitioner has three criminal antecedents and is languishing in judicial custody since 24.06.2025 without any rhymes or reason.
