                   APP for the State.

                                 2. The petitioners seek bail in connection with

                   Prohibition P.S. Saharsa (Excise) Case No. 205 of 2026

                   registered for the offence punishable under Sections 30(a) and

                   30(c) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Amendment Act,

          charitable organization without accepting their guilt.

                       6. Learned APP appearing for the State opposes the

                     result in cancellation of bail bonds of the petitioners.

                     herein are limited to the adjudication of the present bail

                     any opinion on the merits of the case.
