JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 01-04-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State through virtual court proceedings. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Kurhani P.S. Case No.178 of 2021, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 272 and 273 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no recovery from the conscious possession of the petitioner rather 5 litres of country made liquor has been recovered from the Dalan situated in the house of the petitioner. It is further submitted that the petitioner is said to have fled away from the place of occurrence after seeing the police. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as stated in para 3 of the bail application.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.66149 of 2021(2) dt.01-04-2022 2/2 Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Having considered the fact that liquor has been recovered from the Dalan situated in the house of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.
