2   01-07-2026               Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP

                   for the State.

                             2. The accused-petitioner, named in the F.I.R., is

                   apprehending his arrest in connection with Majhauliya P.S. Case

                   No. 321 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under

                   Sections 132, 191(2), 190, 126(2), 115(2) & 3(5) of the Bhartiya

                   Nyay Sanhita, 2023 (in short, the ‘B.N.S.’) and section 30(a) of

                   the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.

                             3. The allegation against the petitioner is to enter into

                   alleged scuffle with police raiding team arrived at the place of

                   occurrence in connection with search of illicit liquor and, as

                   such, deterred them to discharge from official duties.

                             4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner

                   submitted that allegation against the petitioner as to deter the

                                            2/3




          police officials to discharge their official duty, is appearing very

          much general and omnibus in nature as admittedly the same

          allegation is available against 10-12 unknown persons.

                   5. It is submitted that petitioner implicated on the basis

          of information supplied by local chowkidar without having any

          connecting materials. It is urged that petitioner is also one of the

          shopkeeper of the locality and as he refused to sign the seizure

          memo in the capacity of independent witness, on the request of

          police personnel, he was implicated with present crime in

          question. Petitioner claimed clean antecedent.

                   6. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

          taking note of the fact as allegation against petitioner is

          appearing very much general and omnibus in nature to deter the

          police officials as to discharge their official duty during the

          alleged occurrence, accordingly, above-named petitioner, who is

          a man of clean antecedent, in the event of his arrest/surrender

          within a period of four weeks from this order, is directed to be

          enlarged on bail on furnishing of bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten

          thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

          satisfaction of learned Exclusive Special Judge, Excise Court
