The allegation against the petitioner is that one bolero vehicle was intercepted by the police and total quantity of 585 litres of illicit liquor has been recovered from the said vehicle. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case inasmuch as the vehicle from where the illicit liquor has been recovered does not belong to the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits

Having regard to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent and the vehicle from where the illicit liquor has been recovered does not belong to the petitioner and similarly situated accused person has been granted bail by this Court, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, let the petitioner, above named, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.D.J.-II-cum-Special Judge (Excise), Madhubani, in connection with Harlakhi P.S.
