Bail Application No.8372 of 2010
-----------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2010
ORDER
In this Petition filed under Sec.439 Cr.P.C. the petitioner
who is the sole accused in Crime No.62 of 2010 of
Chengannur Excise Range, for an offence punishable under
Section 55(i) of Kerala Abkari Act for allegedly having been
found in possession of 500 ml. of Indian Made Foreign Liquor,
seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on
03/12/2010.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved
in three other abkari offences.
3. It is too early to accept the petitioner’s contention
that he has been falsely implicated in the case. Moreover, I
am not satisfied that both the grounds enumerated under
Sec.41A (b)(ii) of the Abkari Act are present in this case so as
to justify his release on bail.
With the above observation this Application is dismissed.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
