This is an application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking grant of regular bail to the applicant in connection with Crime No. 263/2016 registered at P.S. Excise Sub-Inspector Circle Champa, Distt. Janjgir Champa (C.G) for the offence punishable under Section 34(2) of the Chhattisgarh Excise Act.

¶12

The prosecution alleges that when a raid/inspection was conducted by the Police, 15 bulk litres of illicit liquor was seized from the possession of the applicant.

¶13

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as no seizure was made in person from him. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 17.10.2016 and the alleged seizure having been made, no further investigation is necessary, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail.

¶14

Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application. However, he is not able to dispute the fact that earlier any case of similar nature u/s 34(2) of the Excise Act

¶15

was registered against the applicant.

¶16

Taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances and the fact that the quantity of seized liquor in this case is only 15 bulk litres; offence is triable by the JMFC and the applicant is in jail since 17.10.2016 this Court is inclined to release him on bail. Accordingly, this application is allowed.

¶17

The applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court. He shall also appear before the said Court as and when directed by the said Court.
