This is second bail application filed by the applicant under Section 483 of BNSS/ 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail relating to Crime No.181/2025 registered at Police Station - Shahjahanabad, District Bhopal (M.P.) for the offence punishable under Section 34(2) of M.P. Excise Act. The applicant has been arrested on 29.04.2025. Earlier bail application was dismissed as withdrawn on 01.07.2025 with liberty to renew the prayer after two months.

As per the prosecution story, on receiving information from the informant police made a search and recovered 252 bulk liters illicit liquor from the applicant. On the basis of which the offence has been registered against the present applicant under the aforesaid section.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He is in custody since 29.04.2025. Offence has been triable by JMFC.
