This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises out of Nautan P.S. Case No. 245 of 2019, disclosing offence under Section 30(a) of Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016. In view of the Full Bench decision of this Court in case of Ram Vinay Yadav Vs.

This application is accordingly dismissed as not maintainable.

However, considering the small quantity(3.465 litres)

Patna High Court CR. MISC.

If he does so, his application for regular bail shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by rejection of the present application for grant of anticipatory bail by this Court.
