For Non-applicant/State - Mr. Anant Bajpai, Panel Lawyer. Hon'ble Shri Justice Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant Order on Board 25-06-2018 1.

Heard on the application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. This is first bail application before this Court filed by the applicants for grant of regular bail. The applicants have been arrested on 16-05-2018 in connection with Crime No.137/18 registered at P.S. - Simga, District Baloda Bazar - Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh for the offence under Section 34(2) of Excise Act. 2.

It is submitted on behalf of the applicants that the applicants have been falsely implicated in this case. They are in custody since 16-05-2018. Hence, it is prayed that the applicants may be released on regular bail. 3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application and submission. It is submitted that in total 6.48 bulk liter illicit liquor has been seized from the possession of the applicants. Hence, they are not entitled for grant of bail.

4.

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

-25.

Considering on the submissions made and the contents of the case diary, detention of the applicants till conclusion of the trial would not serve any purpose. Hence, for these reasons, I am of the view that the application deserves to be allowed.

6.

Consequently, this application filed by the applicants under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail is hereby allowed. It is directed that the applicants shall be released on bail on each of them 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 their appearance as and when directed. 7.
