IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43005 of 2010 RAMESH KUMAR MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 06.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Sultanganj P.S. Case No. 116 of 2010 registered under section 47(A) and 49 of the Excise Act. Admittedly, the petitioner was driver of the vehicle in which huge quantity of illicit liquor was recovered. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submission of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail stands rejected. However, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
