Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 21/05/2021 1.

The applicant has preferred this application for grant of bail as she is arrested in connection with Crime No. 05/2021 registered in Police Station Excise Circle Sakti, Distt. Janjgir Champa (C.G.) for offence punishable under Sections 34(1)(a), 34(2) & 59(a) of Chhattisgarh Excise Act. 2.

The prosecution alleges that on a raid being conducted, 24.00 bulk liters of illicit liquor was seized from the possession of the applicant and she was arrested on 17.04.2021.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has falsely been implicated in this case. She is in jail since 17.04.2021, seizure has been made, no further investigation is necessary therefore she may be enlarged on bail.

Learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail. 5.

Taking into consideration the nature of allegation and the quantity of liquor which has already been seized, offence is triable by Judicial Magistrate First Class and the applicant is in jail since 17.04.2021, no further evidence is

necessary therefore this Court is inclined to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, this application is allowed.
