Ms. Sunita Jain, GA Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 06/01/20

1. Heard.

2. This is the First Bail Application under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. The applicant has preferred this application for grant of bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No.102/2020, registered in Police Station Devri, District Balod (C.G.) for offence under Section 34 (2) of the C.G. Excise Act.

3. As per the prosecution case, on 04.08.2020 on a raid being conducted, the applicant was found to be in possession of 5.760 bulk liter of country liquor.

4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case, therefore, the applicant may be enlarged on bail.

5. Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail and would submit that one similar like nature of incident is to the credit of the applicant.

6. Considering the fact that the applicant is in jail since 04.08.2020 and the charge-sheet in this case has been filed, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.

7. Accordingly, the application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court. He is directed to appear before the trial Court on each and every date given by the said Court. SD/Sd/-/- Goutam Bhaduri Judge Ashu
