JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 18-11-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Section 30 (a) of the Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act.

As per the prosecution case, 1188 liters of foreign liquor has been recovered from two vehicles.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the case. No incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and he is no way concerned with the alleged recovery. Petitioner is neither driver nor owner of the vehicle in question.

Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.55308 of 2022(2) dt.18-11-2022 2/2 prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that petitioner has got criminal antecedent of similar nature.

Considering the nature of accusation and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) BKS/- U T
