1. Heard on I.A. No.1/2021, application for exemption from filing certified copy of impugned order.

2. Counsel for the applicant submits that he has filed certified copy of the impugned order.

3. In view of the above, I.A. No.1/2021, application for exemption from filing certified copy of the impugned order is disposed of accordingly.

4. As per applicant, this is first bail application under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. preferred by the applicant before this Court and no other bail application is pending before any other Court.

5. The applicant has been arrested in connection with Crime No.558/2021 registered in Police Station Sarangarh, District Raigarh (CG) for offence punishable under Section 34(2), 59(A) of C.G. Excise Act.

6. Prosecution story in brief is that on 02/10/2021, 20 bulk liter of country made liquor has been seized from the illegal possession of applicant.

7. Counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant is innocent, he has been falsely implicated, he is in jail since 02/10/2021, this is first offence registered against the applicant, hence he prayed that applicant be released on bail.

8. On the other hand, the State counsel opposed the bail application. He further submitted that no criminal antecedent has been reported against applicant in the police case diary.

9. Looking to the quantity of the seized liquor and also no previous criminal antecedent of the applicant and further looking to the totality of the facts, I feel inclined to allow the bail application. It is directed that if the applicant furnishes one solvent surety for a sum of Rs.25,000/- along with one personal bond in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court concerned for his appearance before the concerned Court as and when directed by the said Court, he be released on bail. 10.CC as per rules.
