It is submitted on behalf of the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He is in custody since 05-01-2018. Hence, he may be enlarged on bail.

3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application and submission. It is submitted that in total 5.660 bulk liter illicit liquor has been seized from the possession of the applicant. Also, against this applicant two previous cases for the offence under the provisions of the CG Excise Act are registered. Hence, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 4.

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

-25.

Considered the submissions made and the contents of the case diary. 6.

Considering the fact that though earlier aforesaid two cases have been registered against the applicant, but no earlier case is reported against him and the fact that detention of the applicant till conclusion of the trial would not serve any purpose, this Court is of this view that for these reasons the application deserves to be allowed.

7.

Consequently, this application filed by the applicant under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail is hereby allowed. It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, for his appearance as and when directed. 8.
