It is next submitted that petitioners were not arrested from the spot, as such, nothing was recovered from their conscious possession and even alleged recovery is from a place which does not belong to the petitioners and have no relation or concern with Sanjay Kumar but then it is alleged that petitioners along with other accused persons were opposing the arresting of Sanjay Kumar.
4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the anticipatory bail application.
5. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the petitioners, above-named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks, are directed to be released on provisional anticipatory bail on their furnishing bail-bonds in the sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Exclusive Special Court of Excise, Patna City, Patna in connection with Nadi P.S.

7. It is made clear that the learned trial Court after accepting the provisional bail bonds of the petitioners shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and in the event, if it is found that petitioners no.1 and 5 have antecedents of more than one case and petitioners no.2, 3 and 4 have antecedent of even one case, then it would be presumed that petitioners for the purposes of obtaining anticipatory bail had concealed their antecedent before this Court, in that event, the present provisional anticipatory bail order shall not be confirmed, but if on verification, it is found that petitioner no.1 and 5 has antecedent of only one case and petitioners no.2, 3 and 4 are persons with clean antecedent, in that event, the provisional anticipatory bail order shall be confirmed forthwith.
