4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the name of the petitioner has been implicated in this case by Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.51171 of 2026(2) dt.29-07-2026
virtue of he being the owner of the Winger vehicle. In fact the said vehicle was being run for the purposes of carrying passengers by the driver and the petitioner was not even acquainted with the fact that the vehicle was being used for the purpose of carrying illicit wine. It is further contended that prior to the alleged occurrence the petitioner has sold the vehicle on 23.02.2026 to one Chandan Kumar, however, the said sale deed could not be carried out in the office of the District Transport Officer. It is further contended that, be that as it may, the petitioner is a man of fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the proceeding of the Court.
5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State vehemently opposed the bail application and submits that the use of the petitioner’s vehicle in crime clearly suggests his complicity.
6. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the fact that the vehicle was being run for the purposes of carrying passengers and prior to the alleged occurrence, the petitioner has sold the same, besides the fair antecedent of the petitioner as well as lack of materials which attract the rigors to maintain the anticipatory bail, as also the defiance of Section Patna High Court CR.
