As per prosecution story, 392. 150 bulk liters of illicit liquor has been recovered from the possession of the applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. There are no criminal antecedents. The case is triable by Judicial Magistrate First Class. The applicant is in jail since 28. 12. 2023. The final conclusion of the trial is likely to take sufficient long time, hence, it is prayed that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 4 . Learned counsel for the respondent/State opposed the prayer, however it is fairly admitted that there are no criminal antecedents against the applicant. 5.
After hearing learned counsel for the parties and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that it is a case, in which applicant may be released on bail. Consequently, without commenting on the merits of the case, bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of bail filed on behalf of applicant, stands allowed. 6. It is directed that applicant be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty thousand only) with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court, for his regular appearance before the trial Court during trial with a condition that he shall remain present before the concerned Court on all the dates fixed by it during trial. They shall abide by all the conditions enumerated under Section 437(3) of Cr. P. C. 7. This order shall be effective till the end of the trial.
However, in case of bail jump and breach of any of the conditions of bail, it shall become ineffective.
