Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.66986 of 2025(2) dt.24-09-2025 2/3 been implicated in the present case. Name of the petitioner has surfaced in this case on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused Abhishek Kumar and confessional statement made before police has no evidentiary value. Petitioner has no concern either with the recovered liquor or with the seized tempo.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.

6. Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the allegation made in the FIR and also the fact that name of the petitioner has surfaced in this case on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused Abhishek Kumar and confessional statement made before police has no evidentiary value, I am of the opinion that petitioner has, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

The petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Concerned Court where the case is pending in connection with Saraiya P.S.
