2.
Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant held arrested in connection with Crime No.83/2017 on 15-7-2017 by P.S. Sariya, District Raigarh, Chhattisgarh 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 Raigarh, C.G. as Criminal Case No.481/17. Learned counsel for the applicant would further submit that the applicant is aged about 23 years. He is first offender, he will not commit any offence in future and as per the allegation, from the conscious possession of the applicant 46.800 bulk liter hand made country liquor has been seized. He may be granted bail during trial.

-24.
Perused the entire material.
5.
As the applicant is in custody since 1 month and 14 days till date, charge sheet has been filed, the applicant is aged about 23 years, he is first offender with no criminal antecedent, though quantity of liquor so seized is on the higher side, but upon consideration of the entire facts, I am inclined to grant one last opportunity to the applicant so that he shall not involve himself in any offence and shall live peacefully in society. Consequently, the instant MCRC is hereby allowed. The applicant is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/-(Rs. One Lac) with two solvent sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Raigarh, C.G. for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed till trial.
6.
It is made clear that this order granting bail to the applicant shall stand cancelled automatically without reference to the Bench by the Court below if (i) the trial Court finds that the applicant suppressed filing or pendency of any other application for grant of bail before this Court or the Hon'ble Apex Court intentionally; (ii) the applicant does not cooperate in the trial; (iii) the applicant is found to be involved in any offence of the like nature; and (iv) the trial Court finds that the applicant remains absent without any sufficient and cogent reason. If bail is cancelled automatically in view of above, the Court below may proceed further under the provisions of law under intimation. 7.
It is further directed that the applicant shall appear in person before the IO/SHO/In-charge, as the case may be, of P.S. Sariya, District Raigarh, C.G. in 1st and 3rd Monday of every month at 11.00 a.m. sharp till disposal of the said criminal case against him. If the applicant failed to mark his appearance before the concerned police as directed, the police may inform the trial Court for the same and if the trial Court appreciates that the applicant was not present before the concerned police for no any sufficient or cogent reason, the bail
-3granted to the applicant shall stand cancelled by the trial Court without further reference to the Bench.
