If the petitioner's further activity in similar type of offence is not found within the said provisional bail period then the trial court shall confirm the privilege of provisional bail and in this regard the trial court shall call for a report from the police station concerned before confirming the provisional bail." It is further submitted by petitioner's counsel that the petitioner's provisional bail has not been confirmed and his bail bond has been cancelled by the trial court mainly considering his alleged involvement in Mohammadpur P.S. Case No. 267/2023 in which the petitioner has been falsely roped. It is further submitted that other co-accused persons, namely, Adarsh Kumar Singh @ Bhola Singh and Dhanu Sandip, have been granted bail by a co-ordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 19.05.2023 passed in Cr. Misc. No.

19961/2023. It is lastly submitted that the trial court rejected the petitioner's bail bond in a mechanical manner.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.64871 of 2025(3) dt.12-12-2025 3/3 the petitioner's bail bond and has not confirmed the provisional bail in the light of the condition fixed by this Court as the petitioner's subsequent direct involvement in Mohammadpur P.S. Case No. 267/2023 has been found, and in the said case, he was apprehended with 1028.1 litres of English liquor and the case diary of the said case is also available before this Court.

Case No. 267/2023, which shows the petitioner's subsequent involvement in trafficking of large quantity of English liquor and that too after the granting of provisional bail to the petitioner by this bench, which shows the petitioner's misuse of the privilege of provisional bail and also taking into account the petitioner's past criminal history, this Court is of the view that the trial court has rightly cancelled the petitioner's bail bond and has rightly not confirmed his provisional bail. Accordingly, this Court finds no merit in this petition, so, it stands rejected.

7. The trial court is directed to expedite and conclude the petitioner's trial in the next one year.
