IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9957 of 2008 MANOJ SAH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 04.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 33, 41, 42 of the Indian Forest Act and Section 27, 29 31 and 51 of Wild Life Protection Act. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the alleged Chhals of Medh Tree were being weighed at the Darwaja of the Petitioner. However, the same was not seized. Petitioner was not even ever asked to submit any explanation. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that there is specific allegation against this petitioner that he was found in possession of chhals of Medh Tree since on account of evening hour, it could not be seized. As per the prosecution report, petitioner is said to be an old smuggler of forest produce. Considering the above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and the same is rejected.
