This is an application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the applicant, who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.102/2017 registered in Police Station Gariyaband, Distt. Gariyaband (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 34(2) of the Chhattisgarh Excise Act, 1915. 3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been arrested on 05.6.2017, after investigation police has filed charge sheet which is pending before Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gariyaband as Criminal Case No.807/17. As per the allegation, the applicant was found in illegal possession of 20 bulk liters of hand made liquor along with Rs.200/- as sale proceeds.

She is the first offender, she will not commit any offence in future, the trial may take sometime for its conclusion, hence she may be granted bail.

Perused the entire material.

6.

The applicant, a lady, is in custody for one month and twenty two days, charge sheet has been filed, the trial may take sometime for its conclusion, though the quantity of liquor so seized is on higher side, but considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.

It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two separate solvent sureties of Rs. 25,000/- to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Judge for her appearance before the said Court as and when directed.
