For Respondent/State Mr. Vasim Miyan, PL.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Chandra Bhushan Bajpai Order On Board 17/05/2017

1. Heard finally.

2. The applicant has preferred this application for grant of bail as he is arrested on 5-4-2017 in connection with Crime No. 69/2017 registered in PS Parpa, Jagdalpur, Distt. Bastar (CG) for offence punishable under Section 34 sub-section (2) of the CG Excise Act, 1995.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that after investigation, police has filed charge sheet and the matter is pending before the CJM Jagdalpur as Criminal Case No. 514/2017. This is his first bail application before this Court. He is the first offender. He will not commit any offence in future if granted bail. He may be granted bail as the trial may take time. As per allegation, 15.300 bulk litre foreign liquor has been seized from the conscious possession of the applicant without any licence or permission. Therefore, the applicant may be enlarged on bail.

4. Per contra learned State counsel opposes the bail application. However he fairly conceded that no criminal antecedent of the applicant is reported by the police in the case diary.

5. Perused the matter.

6. On due consideration, as the applicant is the first offender, he is in custody for last 1 month and 12 days, though quantity of liquor seized from applicant is on higher side but as submitted he will not commit any crime in future, I am inclined to grant one opportunity to the applicant to live peacefully in the society without committing any crime. Consequently, instant MCRC is allowed. The applicant is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 40,000/- with one solvent surety of the like sum to the satisfaction of the CJM Jagdalpur CG for his appearance before the said Court regularly as and when directed by the said Court.

7. It is made clear that this order granting bail to the applicant shall stand cancelled automatically without reference to the bench by the Court below if (i) the trial Court finds that the applicant suppressed filing or pendency of any other application for grant of bail before this court or the Hon'ble Apex Court intentionally, (ii) the applicant does not cooperate in the trial; (iii) the applicant is found to be involved in any offence of the like nature: (iv) the trial Court finds that the applicant remains absent without any sufficient and cogent reason. If bail is cancelled automatically in view of above, the Court below may proceed further under the provisions of law under intimation.

8. CC as per rules.
