State Of Chhattisgarh Through District Magistrate Raipur (C.G.). ---- Respondent For Applicant :

Shri Manish Thakur, Advocate For Respondent/State :

Shri Neeraj Pradhan, P.L.

Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order On Board 24/07/2015 This is the first bail application filed u/s 439 of Cr.P.C. for grant of bail to the applicant who was arrested on 04.07.2015 in connection with Crime No. 200 of 2015 registered at PS Dharsinva, Raipur for the offence punishable under Section 34 (2) of Chhattisgarh Excise Act. As per the prosecution, on 04.07.2015, the applicant was found to be in possession of 10.980 bulk liters of country made liquor. Subsequently, a case was registered against the applicant under the provisions of Excise Act and she was arrested in connection with the said offence.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and she is in jail since 04.07.2015, therefore, considering these facts the applicant may be released on bail.

Per contra, counsel for the State opposes the application for grant of bail.

Taking into consideration the quantity of liquor which is alleged to have been seized from the possession of the applicant, I am of the

opinion that it is a fit case where the present applicant can be released on bail.

Accordingly, the application for grant of bail is allowed. It is directed that if the applicant furnishes a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, she shall be released on bail. The applicant is directed to appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to her by the said Court till disposal of the trial. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) JUDGE Bhola
