4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that he has been stopped by the Police near Police Station and he was not in possession of alleged liquor, stated to have been seized from him. He further submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case and there is no criminal antecedents against the present applicant. Applicant is in jail since 01.12.2018.
5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for grant of bail and submits that the alleged liquor has been seized from the motorcycle which was being driven by the present applicant. Investigation is going on and charge-sheet has not been filed yet.
6. Considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and perused the records. Considering the totality of the case and also considering that there is no previous criminal track record of the present applicant, I am of the view that it is a fit case to enlarge the accused/applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court concerned for his regular appearance before the said Court on each and every date given by the Court.
