IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34569 of 2008 1. SATISH SINGH son of Late Raj Kumar Singh 2. DILIP SINGH son of Shri Surendra Prasad Singh both resident of village- Beri P.S. Salaiya District- Aurangabad Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 21.11.2008 Heard learned counsels for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are accused for the offence under sections 414, 307, 420, 270 & 120B of the Indian Penal Code and section 47A of the Excise Act. The allegation against the petitioners is that in course of checking of vehicles a truck was intercepted from which a large quantity of spirit was recovered. The driver was taken into custody, who disclosed the name of these petitioners along with other co-accused Akhilesh Singh. It is further alleged that on searching the house of the petitioners a further large quantity of spirit was recovered. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that although there is allegation of recovery against these petitioners, however the seizure list prepared ought to have bear the signature of any family member of the petitioners since the petitioners deny seizure of alleged spirit from their houses. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes - 2 - the prayer for bail and submits that there is allegation of recovery from the house of the petitioners. As regards the seizure it is submitted that the same has been seized and local witnesses have put their signature as seizure list witnesses. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation levelled against the petitioners, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to them. Their prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
