Mr. Yogesh Pandey, Advocate.

For Non-applicant/State:Mr. Ajit Singh, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board /0 5 /201 Heard.

(1) The accused/applicant has moved this bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for releasing him on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No.P-8 No.512/16 registered at Police Station - Excise Sub Inspector Circle Aarang, Raipur, District - Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 34 (2) of the CG Excise Act. (2) Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that 198.72 bulk liters of illicit liquor was seized from the possession of the present applicant.

(3) Counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has falsely been implicated in the crime in question as he has not committed

any offence. He would further submit that applicant is in jail since 08.01.2016 and, therefore, the applicant may be released on bail. (4) On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

(5) Considering the totality of the facts, in particular, the provisions contained in Section 59-A(ii) of the C.G. Excise Act, 1915; and looking to huge quantity of liquor; I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Thus, the bail application is rejected.
