                       Bail Application No. 1145 of 2007

                               -------------------------------

                            DATED: 26th February 2007


                                       O R D E R

Petitioner who is the accused in C.R. No. 253 of 2006 of

Mavelikkara Excise Range for an offence punishable under Sec. 55 (a)

of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession of 15

litres of rectified spirit on 6-12-2006, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application

submitting inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in three other

cases involving similar nature.

3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature.

There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the

Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner

surrenders before the Magistrate concerned 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 the above observation this application is dismissed.

V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
