Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 23.11.2009 Both the anticipatory bail applications have been heard together and they are being disposed of by this common order. Petitioners apprehend their arrest in Excise Case No. 11/2008 instituted under section 47(A) Excise Act. Allegation against the petitioners is that 4400 liters of illicit liquor was recovered from a place which is said to be of the petitioners and all the petitioners ran away from the place. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Binod Kumar Choudhary and Nagendra Pandey are the licence holder. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that the petitioners do not have any criminal antecedent. All these facts are good grounds for grant of regular bail. - 2 - However, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner in view of the allegation in the first information report. The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Sheema Ali Khan, J) M.Rahman
