The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Excise Act read with Section 188 of IPC.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and allegation is of recovery of 1954.08 liters of liquor from a truck.

¶17

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was not apprehended from the spot as such nothing was recovered from his conscious possession and is not the owner of the seized vehicle and came to be implicated based on confessional statement of Sanjeev in police custody which does not have any evidentiary value, when petitioner admittedly is a person with clean antecedent.

¶22

It is made clear that thereafter the learned Trial Court shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in the event if it is found that petitioner has antecedent of even one case then it would be presumed that petitioner, for the purposes of seeking anticipatory bail, had concealed his antecedent before this Court, as such, the provisional anticipatory bail order shall not be confirmed, but after verification if it is found that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent in that event the provisional anticipatory bail order shall be confirmed forthwith.
