                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJIT KUMAR
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   21-05-2026                    Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered

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

                   Prohibition and Excise Act.

                                3. Prosecution story in brief is that 2.25 litres of illicit

                   liquor has been recovered from the husk situated near the house

                   of this petitioner which is joint family property.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   alleged recovery is not made from the conscious possession of

                   the petitioner and place of recovery is nowhere related to this

                   petitioner. Accordingly, on the basis of his antecedent, the

                   petitioner has been roped in the present case.

                                5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33982 of 2026(2) dt.21-05-2026
                                                        2/2




                      anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

                                   6. Considering the fact that the recovery and the

                      seized liquor does not belong to this petitioner, I am inclined to

                      grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

                                   7. Let the petitioner, as named above, in the event of

                      his arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be

                      enlarged 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 the learned Exclusive Special Judge Excise

                      Court-01, Purnea, in connection with Sarasi P.S. Case No. 44 of

                      2026, subject to the conditions laid down under section 438(2)

                      of the Code of Criminal Procedure/Section 482(2) of the

                      Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
