IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16507 of 2009 MD.ARIF,son of Md. Masudul Haque,resident of Mohalla-Baradari,P.S.-Bihar, District- Nalanda. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 18-05-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 1050 litres raw sprit along with other materials were recovered from the petitioner’s Truck, for which submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner had no knowledge about the material carrying on his Truck. It is the Driver and the Khalasi, who were responsible for having knowledge about the material, if the same was carrying for others. But I do not agree with the submission so advanced on behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner because of the reason that there is no explanation on behalf of the petitioner that Truck was given to any one on fare and in that connection it was being carried with consent of the Driver and the Khalasi. There is every possibility of the petitioner’s direct involvement with the raw sprit. Accordingly, this petition for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below and pray for regular bail, which shall be decided on its own merit on the same day without being prejudiced by this rejection order.
