              Dated this the 16th day of April, 2010.

                            O R D E R

This is an application for regular bail filed by the

petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.7/2010 of

Thirupuram Excise Range, Thiruvananthapuram.

2. The allegation against the petitioner is that he was found

keeping 363 ltrs. spirit in 11 white cans each having a capacity

of 35 ltrs. in the hall room of B.V.Bhavan in Athiyannoor Village

and thereby the petitioner/accused has committed the offence

punishable u/s.55(a) of Kerala Abkari Act. On the basis of the

said allegation, the petitioner is arrested on 23.3.2010 and

hence this petition for regular bail.

3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as

well as the learned Public Prosecutor.

4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances involved

in the case and as the quantity of the contraband article is to the

tune of 363 ltrs. of rectified spirit, I am not inclined to allow the

prayer and consequently the petition is liable to be dismissed.

Bail Application No.2211 of 2010
2

In the result, there is no merit in the petition and accordingly

the same is dismissed.

V.K.MOHANAN,
Judge.
