                                 5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

          petitioners are having no criminal antecedent.

                        6. Learned APP appearing for the State opposes the

          prayer for bail of the petitioners.

                        7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the

          case and submissions of learned counsel for the petitioners, let

          the petitioners, above named, be released on bail upon

          furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two

          sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned

          concerned Court below in connection with Gopalganj Excise

          Case No. 280 of 2026.

                        8. This is also subject to the condition that the

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

          Ramakrishna Mission Ashram, Luxa Road, Varanasi and

          produce the receipt of the same before the Court below. The bail

          bonds of the petitioners shall be accepted after verifying the

          genuineness of the receipt produced by the petitioners.

                       9. As a condition of this order, the petitioners after

          being released on bail, are directed to mark their attendance at

          Bisunpura Police Station on first and third Sunday of each

          month. Any default in appearance at the police station will result

          in cancellation of bail bonds of the petitioners.

                       10. As the petitioners claim to have clean antecedent,

                    the Court below, before accepting the bail bonds of the

                    petitioners, is directed to verify the antecedent of the petitioners.

                    If the petitioners are found to be involved in any other case then

                    the bail bonds of the petitioners shall not be accepted.

                                 11. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the

                    Superintendent of Police, Kushinagar District, Uttar Pradesh

                    through FAX for its compliance.
