3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application and submission. It is submitted that in total 5.400 bulk liters illicit liquor has been seized from the possession of the applicant. Also, against this applicant one previous case under the provisions of IPC is registered. Hence, he is not entitled for grant of bail.

4.

Heard learned counsel for both the parties and perused the case diary. 5.

Considered the submissions made and the contents of the case diary.

-2Though there are one previous case registered against this applicant, but conviction or acquittal of the applicant has not been reported, further in the present matter detention of the applicant till completion of investigation and trial would not serve any purpose. Hence, for these reasons the application deserves to be allowed.
