As per the allegation, applicant was carrying 7.200 bulk litre of

country liquor on a motor-cycle bearing Registration No.CG 06 GD 1066 and also the police had seized the said motor-cycle during investigation. The applicant will not commit any offence in future, as the trial may take some time for its conclusion, he may be enlarged on bail till trial.
