Full Judgment
19. 01. 2012. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Excise Case No. 06/2009, registered under Section 47 (a) of the Excise Act with regard to recovery of 275 litres of sprit from the Dalan of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is non-compliance of Section 100 of Cr.P.C. and sprit does not belong to the petitioner and he has been falsely implicated in this case. However, a major case has been lodged against the petitioner. Having regard to the fact that 275 litres of sprit has been recovered from the Dalan of the petitioner, hence I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence his prayer of anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrender and prayed for regular bail then the court below shall consider his prayer for bail on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. m.p.
