Judicial Magistrate, Jagdalpur, District Bastar. As per allegation, 5.760 bulk liters Foreign liquor has been seized from the possession of the applicant. He is the first offender, he will not commit any offence in future, as the trial may take some time for its conclusion, he may be granted bail. 4.
