3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application and submission. It is submitted that in total 5.76 bulk liter illicit liquor has been seized from the possession of the applicant. Also, there is one previous case under the provisions of the Excise Act and one case under the provisions of Gambling Act registered against the applicant. Hence, he is not entitled for grant of bail.

4.

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

Considered on the submissions made and the contents of the case

-2diary. Though one case under the provisions of the Excise Act and one case under the provisions of the Gambling Act have been reported against the applicant, but conviction or acquittal in those cases has not been reported, further, in the present matter, detention of the applicant till conclusion of the trial would not serve any purpose. Hence, for these reasons the application deserves to be allowed.

6.

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. 7.
