                   learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the

                                      2.       The    petitioner     seeks        regular   bail   in

                   connection with Harsidhi P.S. Case No.489 of 2023 registered

                   for the offence under sections 272 and 273 of the Indian Penal

                   Code and under sections 30(a), 30(d), 32 and 41(1) of the Bihar

                   Prohibition & Excise Act.

                                      3.       About 70 litres of country made liquor and

                   1400 litres of semi-prepared liquor has been recovered from an

                   open piece of land.

                   27.02.2026.

          the petitioner that the petitioner was not arrested from the place

          of occurrence rather, he has been implicated in this case only on

          the basis of suspicion.

                          6.      Learned counsel for the petitioner also

          submits that the petitioner is ready to donate Rs.25,000/- in

          some charitable organization without accepting his guilt.

                          7.      Learned APP appearing for the State opposes

          the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

                          8.      Considering the submissions of learned

          counsel for the petitioner and also his period of custody, this bail

          application is allowed.

                          9.      Let the petitioner, above named, be released

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

          Champaran, Motihari / concerned Court below, in connection

          with Harsidhi P.S. Case No.489 of 2023.

                          10.     This is also subject to the condition that the

          petitioner     shall    deposit      an    amount    of   Rs.25,000/-   in

          Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Swami Vivekananda Path,

          Bela, Muzaffarpur, and produce the receipt of the same before

          the Court below at the time of furnishing bail bonds. The bail

                                                          3/3




                        bonds of the petitioner shall only be accepted after verifying the

                        genuineness of the receipt produced by him.

                                        11.     This is also subject to the condition that the

                        petitioner shall also mark his attendance at Harsidhi Police

                        Station, District- East Champaran on every Sunday of the

                        month. Any default in appearance at the Police Station would

                        result in cancellation of bail bonds of the petitioner.

                                        12.     It is, however, clarified that the observations

                        made herein are limited to the adjudication of the present bail

                        application and shall not prejudice the case of the petitioner at

                        any subsequent stage of the trial and this Court has not

                        expressed any opinion on the merits of the case.



                                                                   (Sandeep Kumar, J)
