¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence.

submitted that the alleged contraband, which was initially alleged to have been kept in the cattle shed (bhusaula) of the petitioner, was subsequently recovered from the cattle shed (bhusaula) of co-accused, Kamrul Hoda, pursuant to his own confessional statement. Thus, the actual recovery was made from the possession of co-accused Kamrul Hoda and not from the petitioner. Learned counsel also submits that the petitioner is accused in one other criminal case.

¶21

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail.

¶22

In this background, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Ramgarhwa P.S. Case No. 325 of 2024, pending before the learned CJM, East Champaran at Motihari is hereby rejected.

¶23

However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Trial Court within six weeks from today, the Trial Court is directed to pass an order on his surrender-cum-bail application on the same day, without being prejudiced by the fact that the petitioner’s anticipatory bail has been rejected by this Court.
