                   liters of country-made liquor was recovered near the banks of

                     case. He also submits that nothing has been recovered from the

                     possession of the petitioner. The witnesses of the seizure list are

                     considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is

                     inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named

                     petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail

                     bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties

                     of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Special

                     Judge Excise, Patna City in connection with Khusrupur P.S.
