                                       ORAL ORDER

2   08-05-2026                     Heard Mr. Rudrank Shivam Singh, learned counsel

                   for the petitioner and Mr. Arun Kumar Singh, learned APP for

                   the State.

                                 2. Petitioner seeks bail, who is in custody since

                   02.03.2026, in connection with Rupaspur P.S. Case No. 149 of

                   2026, F.I.R. dated 01.03.2026                registered for the offences

                   punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition &

                   Excise Act.

                                 3. Recovery is of 35 litres of country made liquor.

                                 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner has clean antecedent and he has been falsely

                   implicated in the present case.              He further submits that the

                   allegation as alleged in the F.I.R. is false and fabricated and the

                   petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R.

                                            2/3




          it appears from the F.I.R. as well as seizure list that altogether

          35 litres of country made liquor was recovered from the bicycle

          in question and petitioner has been made accused in the present

          case merely on the basis of suspicion. It appears from the

          seizure list that the seizure list witnesses are police personnel so

          there is non-compliance of Sections 103 and 105 of BNSS, 2023

          and the petitioner is in custody since 02.03.2026.

                        5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the

          State has vehemently opposed the prayer for               bail of the

          petitioner.

                        6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case

          and the fact that the petitioner having clean antecedent and

          there is non-compliance of Sections 103 and 105 of the BNSS,

          2023, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on

          furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand)

          with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of

          learned       Special Excise Judge, Danapur in connection with

          Rupaspur P.S. Case No. 149 of 2026, subject to the following

          conditions :-

                        (1) Petitioner shall co-operate in the trial and shall be

          properly represented on each and every date fixed by the Court

                                                           3/3




                         on his absence on two consecutive dates without sufficient

                         reason, his bail bond shall be cancelled by the Court below.

                                      (2) If the petitioner tampers with the evidence or the

                         witness, in that case, the prosecution will be at liberty to move

                         for cancellation of bail.

                                      (3) And, further condition that the court below shall

                         verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at

                         any stage, it is found that the petitioner has concealed his

                         criminal antecedents, the court below shall take step for

                         cancellation of bail bond of the petitioner.             However, the

                         acceptance of bail bonds in terms of the above-mentioned order

                         shall not be delayed for purpose of or in the name of

                         verification.



                                                                       (Rajesh Kumar Verma, J)
