vehicle and demanded the papers of the vehicle and falsely implicated the petitioner in the case.

¶13

After having heard learned Counsel for the parties concerned and taking into consideration the fact that from perusal of the First Information Report and the seizure list, it is apparent that the illicit liquor has been recovered from the vehicle, which was being driven by the petitioner. Accordingly, in view of the aforesaid, a prima facie case is made out against the petitioner and in view of the Full Bench decision of this Court, in Criminal Appeal (S.J.) No. 431 of 2019 (Ram Vinay Yadav v. The State of Bihar) , I am not inclined to exercise my discretion for grant of anticipatory bail.

¶14

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.

¶15

However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today and seeks regular bail, the learned Court below may consider his application for grant of regular bail on the same day without being prejudiced by rejection of the present application for grant of anticipatory bail.
