filed for grant of bail.
The applicant has been arrested on 18/02/2022 in connection
with Crime No.75/2022 registered at Police Station Chachoda,
District Guna for offence under Sections 34(2) and 49(A) of
M.P.Excise Act.
It is submitted by the counsel for the applicant that according
to the prosecution case, 60 bulk litres of country made liquor has
been seized from the possession of the applicant. The applicant is in
jail from 18/02/2022. The FSL report has not been received to show
that the liquor seized from the possession of the applicant is injurious
to health or unfit for human consumption. In view of the criminal
antecedents, he is ready and willing to abide by any stringent
condition, which may be imposed by this Court. The Trial is likely to
take sufficiently long time and there is no possibility of his
absconding or tampering with the prosecution case.
