Application for bail.

2. The alleged offence is under section 55(i) of the Abkari Act. The

petitioner was found in possession of 800 ml. of Indian Made Foreign

Liquor for sale on a public road. The petitioner was arrested on 3-6-2008

and he is in custody since then.

3. This application is opposed. The learned Public Prosecutor

submitted that another crime is also registered against the petitioner for

similar offence. The investigation is at the initial stage. I am not satisfied

that the petitioner will not get involved in any other offence under the

Abkari Act and that he is not guilty of offence. Hence, in view of section

41A of the Abkari Act bail cannot be granted.

The application is dismissed.

K. HEMA,
JUDGE.
