IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22136 of 2010 MAHAVIR SAO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Section 47(A) of the Excise Act. It is alleged that 25 liters of illicit liquor and 40 kg of Mahua has been recovered from the house of the petitioner. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the recovery has been made from the joint family house of the petitioner and from petitioner possession only 25 liters of liquor was recovered who has no criminal antecedent. Considering the allegation I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, if the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail that will be considered in view of the fact that the recovery of country made liquor is in small quantity and the illicit liquor has been recovered from the joint possession. The application stands disposed of. Anand Kr. (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
