Heard the matter finally.

2.

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant held arrested in connection with Crime No.79/2017 on 02-04-2017 by P.S. Arjuni, District Dhamtari, C.G. for the offence under Section 34(2) of the C.G. Excise Act, 1915. After investigation police had filed the charge sheet which is pending before the CJM Dhamtari, C.G. as Criminal Case No.356/2017. The applicant is first offender. This is first bail application. As per the allegation, 7.380 bulk liter country liquor has been seized from the applicant. The applicant will not commit any offence in future. He may be granted bail during trial. 3.

Per contra, learned counsel for the non-applicant/State opposed the argument advanced on behalf of the applicant, though fairly conceded that there is no any earlier criminal antecedent of the applicant. 4.

Perused the entire material.

5.

As the applicant is in jail since two months and 6 days, charge sheet has been filed, trial may take some time, the applicant is first offender, he had no earlier criminal antecedent, on entire consideration of the quantity of liquor so seized in the matter and the period of detention, I am inclined to grant one opportunity to the applicant so that he shall not involve himself in any crime and shall live peacefully in society. Consequently, the instant MCRC is hereby

-2allowed. The applicant is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with one solvent surety of the like sum to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Dhamtari, C.G. for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed till trial. 6.
