Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83075 of 2025(3) dt.19-01-2026 2/3 members are staying in the house and it appears that someone inimical to the family concealed meagre amount of liquor with an intent to implicate entire family members.

It is made clear that thereafter the learned Trial Court shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in the event if it is found that petitioner has antecedent of even one case then it would be presumed that petitioner, for the purposes of
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83075 of 2025(3) dt.19-01-2026 3/3 seeking anticipatory bail, had concealed his antecedent before this Court, as such, the provisional anticipatory bail order shall not be confirmed, but after verification if it is found that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent in that event the provisional anticipatory bail order shall be confirmed forthwith.
