The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in connection with Bairiya PS case no. 363 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 30(A) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.

The allegation is regarding recovery of 9 liters of illicit liquor from the the house of the petitioner.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that neither any recovery has been effected from the possession of the petitioners nor there is any compliance of Section 100 Cr. P.C., hence the entire seizure itself is doubtful and has been vitiated and the petitioner is having a clean antecedent.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.11113 of 2018 (2) dt.27-02-2018 2/2 Considering the nature of accusation levelled against the petitioner herein as also the fact that prima facie no case is made out under the provisions of the Excise Act, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioner herein to the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest or surrender before the concerned court within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of the present order, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs.
