IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36060 of 2009 KRISHNA CHOUDHARY S/O LATE PRASAI CHOUDHARY R/O VILL-PRANPUR, P.S- NAZIRGANJ, DISTT- GAYA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 30.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. Though the allegation against the petitioner is u/s 47(f) of the Excise Act but the nature of recovery showing a complete distillery to be operating in his house would not entitle him to be given bail for the present, inasmuch as he has remained in custody only for a period of four months. The petitioner has not stated anything in the bail application regarding his criminal antecedent and an oral statement by the counsel that the petitioner is also accused in one more criminal case can hardly be acceptable to this Court. Considering all these aspects of the matter, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. His prayer for bail, therefore, is rejected. The petitioner may, however, renew his prayer for bail after completing one 2 Surendra/ more year of his judicial custody initially before the trial court which is also directed to conclude the trial of the petitioner in this period of one year.
