IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27015 of 2008 LALAN SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 12.8.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused for an offence under section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act. The allegation is to the effect that on verification papers reveal that no stock is left. However, on search kerosene oil to the extent of 200 litres were found. Considering the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. It goes without saying that it will be open for the petitioner to make an application for regular bail before the court below, which will be considered without being prejudiced by the present order.
