2.

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant held arrested in connection with Crime No.117/17 on 03-04-2017 by P.S. Kotwali, Jagdalpur, District Bastar, 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 Jagdalpur, Distt. Bastar, C.G. as Criminal case No.635/17. The applicant is first offender. As per the allegation, from the applicant 9.510 bulk liter foreign liquor has been seized. He 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 on the basis of the quantity of liquor so seized from the applicant, though fairly conceded that there is no any criminal past of the applicant.

Perused the entire material.

As the applicant is in custody for since three months 23 days till date, charge sheet has been filed, trial may take some time, the applicant is first offender, and on consideration of the entire facts, I am inclined to grant one opportunity to the applicant so that he shall not involve himself in any offence and shall live peacefully in society.
