The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Khajauli P.S. Case No. 101 of 2026 for the offence under sections 274, 275, 3(5) of BNS and 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act.

¶13

As per the prosecution story, the Police intercepted a motorcycle which was being used by one Rishi Kumar Yadav and 9 liter Nepali liquor recovered/seized. This led to the FIR.

¶14

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the motorcycle was handed over to Rishi Kumar Yadav, he was not present at the spot nor anything recovered from his conscious possession. Only because he owns the motorcycle and has criminal antecedent, got implicated.

¶15

Further, learned counsel for the petitioner relied on the judgment of the Full Bench of Hon’ble Patna High Court in the

case of Ram Vinay Yadav vs. State of Bihar reported in 2019 (2) PLJR 1089 wherein it has been held that an application for anticipatory bail in a case arising out of Bihar Excise and Prohibition Act can be maintained, despite the bar under Section 76(2) of the Act, if on the basis of allegation made in the FIR, no offence under the said provision is made out.

¶18

Learned APP opposes the prayer submitting that he is the owner of the motorcycle.

¶19

Taking into account the submissions of the parties and the judgment in the case of Ram Vinay Yadav (supra) , as also that nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession nor he has criminal antecedent, in that background, this Court is inclined to extend him the privilege of anticipatory bail with conditions.
