BAIL APPLICATION NO.7755 OF 2006

DATED THIS THE 1st DAY OF JANUARY, 2007
O R D E R
Petitioner who is the second accused in Cr.No.167/05 of
Bedakam Police Station for an offence punishable under section 55(a)
of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in joint possession of
88 packets of Karnataka arrack altogether measuring 8.800 litres, on
9.12.2005, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. Admittedly, the case is now pending before the J.F.C.M.,
Kasargod as C.P.No.219/06. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a
case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not
surrender before the committal court and seek regular bail.
Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the J.F.C.M., Kasargod
and files an application for regular bail, within two weeks from today,
the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the same
date on which it is filed.
With this direction, this petition is disposed of.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
