JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 03-05-2017 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail for offences punishable under Sections 272 and 273 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.

Allegation against the petitioner is that large quantity of liquor has been recovered from the house of the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has falsely been implicated in the present case. Heard learned A.P.P. also.

In terms of Bihar Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act, this anticipatory bail application is not maintainable.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.18380 of 2017 (2) dt.03-05-2017 2/2 Hence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

However, petitioner is directed to surrender in the court below, i.e., learned SDJM, Raxaul at Motihari, East Champaran, in connection with Ramgarhawa P. S. Case no. 34 of 2017 and make prayer for regular bail which will be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the order of this Court. Accordingly, this application is disposed of.
