Decided
Disposal
BAIL GRANTED

Holding

The court granted regular bail to the petitioner with specified conditions.

Summary

The petitioner was arrested on 17‑04‑2026 for alleged possession of 60 litres of illicit country‑made liquor seized from a motorcycle, an offence under section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act. He claimed innocence, asserted a clean criminal record, and offered to donate Rs.25,000 to a charitable organization without pleading guilty. The State opposed the bail application. The High Court, after considering the facts and submissions, granted regular bail subject to a cash bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of equal amount, verification of the petitioner’s clean antecedent, deposit of the charitable donation, and a condition to appear at the police station every Sunday. The bail bonds would be cancelled upon any default in appearance. The order was pronounced by Justice Sandeep Kumar.

Issues considered

  • Whether bail should be granted to a person accused under section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act for possession of illicit liquor.
  • Whether the conditions imposed by the court, including a charitable donation, sureties, verification of antecedents, and regular police‑station attendance, are lawful and appropriate.
