vehicle in front of his house. There is some foul play in the alleged recovery of liquor from his vehicle.

¶18

Considering the fact that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent and nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession, the vehicle was in front of the house of the petitioner and at the time of seizure the vehicle is alleged to have been parked in front of the house of one Sahdeo Singh, the court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Additional Sessions Judge 2^nd cum Special Judge (Excise Act), Munger in connection with Tarapur P.S. Case No. 137 of 2018, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr. P. C.
