Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70335 of 2025(2) dt.14-10-2025 2/3 falsely been implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that recovery of illicit liquor was made from the bathroom, outside the house of the petitioner no.1, which don't belong to the petitioners. Petitioners have clean antecedents.

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 the petitioners have clean antecedents, I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their 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 Poura P.S. Case No. 33/2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.

8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and if it is found that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70335 of 2025(2) dt.14-10-2025 3/3 petitioners are involved in some other cases, as what has been stated in paragraph no.3 of the bail application, this order will automatically lose its force.
