Apprehending his arrest in connection with Adityapur P.S. Case No. 08 of 2023 instituted under Sections 272, 273 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 47(a) of the Excise Act, the petitioner has moved to this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail.

¶13

As per F.I.R, there is an allegation against the petitioner of selling the illicit liquor and upon search 30 litres of illicit mahua liquor gas been recovered and seized.

¶14

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence at all rather he has been falsely implicated in this case. It is submitted that neither the petitioner was present at the place of occurrence nor he has any concern with the seized liquor. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and also abide by all terms and conditions which may be imposed in the matter of granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, the petitioner may be extended the privilege of anticipatory bail.

¶15

Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

¶16

Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, the nature of allegation coupled with materials on record, I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within four weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Seraikella in connection with Adityapur P.S. Case No. 08 of 2023 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
