                                3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   the petitioner has antecedent of two cases under the Excise Act

                   and allegation is of recovery of 82 litres of liquor from the

          and is accessible to public at large and petitioner has no concern

          or relation with Dashrath nor is the owner of the seized vehicle

          and he came to be implicated based on secret information,

          anticipatory bail application.

                       6. Considering the submissions made by the learned

                                                           3/3




                         accepting the provisional bail bonds of the petitioner shall verify

                         the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in the event, if it is

                         found that petitioner has antecedent of more than two cases,

                         then it would be presumed that petitioner for the purposes of

                         obtaining anticipatory bail had concealed his antecedent before

                         this Court, in that event, the present provisional anticipatory bail

                         order shall not be confirmed, but if on verification, it is found

                         that petitioner has antecedent of two cases only, in that event,

                         the provisional anticipatory bail order shall be confirmed

                         forthwith.

                                      9. At this stage, the learned counsel appearing on

                         behalf of the petitioner based on instruction submits that

                         petitioner undertakes to deposit an amount of Rs.2500/- with

                         Advocates’ Association, Patna High Court, Patna within a

                         period of two weeks from today.
