The applicant is in custody since 24.12.2021.
The allegation against the applicant is that he was found involved in possession of 54.75 bulk liters of unauthorized liquor which was being transported in an auto Rickshaw bearing registration number MP-09 Ta-1597.
Counsel for the applicant has submitted that three cases (out of total six cases) under Sections 34 (1) of the Madhya Pradesh Excise act, 1915 have been registered against the applicant; and this is the first offence of the present applicant under Section 34 (2) of the Madhya Pradesh Excise act, 1915. The charge sheet has already been filed and the final conclusion of the trial is likely to take sufficiently long time.
Hence, it is prayed that the application be allowed and the applicant be released on bail.
