Regard being had to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the illicit liquor has not been recovered from the conscious or constructive possession of the petitioner, rather the same has been recovered from the house of the petitioner, which is a joint property, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
7. Let the petitioner, above named, be released on anticipatory bail in the event of arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge- Bihar Prohibition & Excise-I, Patna, in connection with Gardanibagh P.S.
