CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER
2 19-01-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioners seek pre-arrest bail in connection with Rajauli P.S. Case No. 217 of 2015 registered under Sections 272, 273 of the Indian Penal Code and 47(a) of the Excise Act.
Regard being had to the recovery of 100 liters illicit liquor and several other articles from the place of occurrence from where the petitioners are alleged to have escaped on arrival of the police, I am not inclined to grant them anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the application for grant of anticipatory bail is
