                   been filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha

                   Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the BNSS, 2023’) for

                   grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner who apprehends arrest

                   in connection with Siswan P.S. Case No. 32 of 2026, lodged on

                   17.02.2026, under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and

          petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He submits

          that the criminal antecedent of the petitioner is clean.        He

          submits that petitioner has not been caught on spot nor any

          incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious

          possession of the petitioner. He further submits that petitioner is

          ready to fulfill all the conditions whatsoever shall be imposed

          upon him.

                       5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

          bail of the petitioner but fairly submits that antecedent of the

          petitioner is clean.

          furnishing bail bond of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty Thousand)

          as mentioned in Section 2(1)(d) of the BNSS, 2023 to the

          satisfaction of learned Principal District and Sessions Judge,

          Siwan, in connection with Siswan P.S. Case No. 32 of 2026,

          subject to the conditions as laid down U/s 482(2) of the BNSS,

          2023.

                       7. And further condition that the Trial Court shall

          verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at

                                                       3/3




                     any stage it is found that the petitioner has concealed his

                     criminal antecedent, the Trial Court 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.



                                                                          (Dr. Anshuman, J)
