As per the prosecution case, 22 liters of country made liquor has been recovered from the possession of this petitioner and another accused person.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. No incriminating material has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. Petitioner is in custody since 12.09.2021. Investigation is complete.

Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.72469 of 2021(2) dt.10-03-2022 2/2 prayer for bail. He submits that the petitioner has got criminal antecedent of similar nature.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, once charge is framed and trial commences, the petitioner, shall be released on bail by the trial court to its own satisfaction on the condition that the petitioner will co-operate in the trial.
