4   20-05-2026                     Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State through

                   virtual mode.

                                   2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in

                   connection with Parsa Bazar P.S. Case No. 282 of 2021 dated

                   13.08.2021 registered for the offence punishable under Section/s

                   30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act.

                                   3. As per the prosecution case, the police has

                   recovered total 60 liters of country-made illicit liquor from the

                   Scooty.

                                   4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

                   present case for ulterior motive. It is next submitted that the

                   petitioner has been implicated in the present case merely on the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18025 of 2026(4) dt.20-05-2026

          basis of his being the owner of the alleged Scooty. It is next

          submitted that the alleged Scooty was parked on the roadside

          and the petitioner had gone to take petrol and, in the meantime,

          the alleged seizure is said to have been made from the said

          Scooty, though there is no independent witness to such seizure.

          Lastly, it is submitted that the petitioner is a person of clean

          antecedent.

                          5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

          grant of anticipatory bail.

                          6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

          considering the fact that there is no witness to the alleged

          seizure and the petitioner bearing no antecedent, let the

          petitioner, above named, be released on anticipatory bail in the

          event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a

          period of four weeks from today on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

                        date before the Trial Court and failure to do so for two

                        consecutive       dates     without      plausible   reason   will   entail

                        cancellation of his bail bond by the Trial Court itself;

                                        (iii) the petitioner(s) shall in no way try to induce

                        or promise or threat the witnesses or tamper with the evidences,

                        failing which the State shall be at liberty to take steps for

                        cancellation of the bail bonds.
