Mr. Pranav Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 22-04-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Kanti P.S. Case No. 788 of 2019 registered under Section 30(a) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Amendment Act, 2018. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. Further he submits that petitioner has got no criminal antecedent.

Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State opposed the prayer of the petitioner by contending that petitioner is the owner of the Truck from which the alleged recovery of illicit liquor has been made, as is evident from the first information report and the seizure list. Hence, this is not a

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.64082 of 2021(2) dt.22-04-2022 2/2 fit case of anticipatory bail.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced on behalf of the opposite party, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. (Arvind Srivastava, J) utkarsh/- U T
