2   30-06-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 318(4),

                   336(3), 340(2), 3(5) of the BNS and Section 30(a) of Bihar

                   Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act, 2022.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and allegation is of

                   recovery of 429 litres of liquor from a car and a motorcycle was

                   seized. It is next submitted that petitioner was not arrested from

                   the spot as such nothing was recovered from his conscious

                   possession and he came to be implicated based on the fact that

                   he is owner of the seized car. It is further submitted that

                   petitioner has leased the car to Zoomcar India Pvt. Limited on

                                            2/3




          commercial basis but then police in a mechanical manner

          without holding a proper investigation implicated the petitioner

          merely for the reason that he is owner of the seized vehicle. It is

          next submitted that no prudent person would use his own

          vehicle for committing an occurrence and thus would create

          evidence against himself and hence would get implicated.

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

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

                       5. Considering the submissions made by the learned

          counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the

          event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks

          from today, be released on provisional anticipatory bail on

          furnishing bail bonds of Rs.500/- (Rupees five hundred) with

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

          learned trial court where the case is pending/successor court in

          connection with Laheriasarai P.S. Case No.393/2025, subject to

          the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the

          B.N.S.S.

                       6. It is made clear that the learned trial court thereafter

          shall verify the criminal antecedents of the petitioner and in the

          event if it is found that petitioner has antecedent of even one

          case, in that event, it would be presumed that petitioner had

                       concealed his antecedent before this court, as such, the

                       provisional anticipatory bail order shall not be confirmed but if

                       on verification it is found that petitioner is a person with clean

                       antecedent, in that event the provisional anticipatory bail order

                       shall be confirmed forthwith.
