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

                   and Excise Act.

                                3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that, from a

                   scooty, altogether 85 liters of illicit country-made liquor was

                   recovered.

                                4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                   petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has

                   committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this

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

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

                   police personnel and the police has not complied with Section

                                                       2/2




                     105 of the BNSS while making the seizure. He further submits

                     that the petitioner is not concerned in any way with the said

                     scooty. The petitioner started fleeing away seeing the police, and

                     the police have apprehended him and framed him in the present

                     case. Moreover, a statement has been made in para 3 of the

                     petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is

                     languishing in judicial custody since 08.03.2026.

                                  5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP

                     for the State.

                                  6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

                     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
