Bail Application No.5984 of 2010

DATED:04.10.2010
O R D E R
In this Petition filed under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. the petitioner, who
is the 2nd accused in Crime No.615/2010 of Mavelikkara Police
Station for offences punishable under sections 55(a) and (i) of the
Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession of 21.5
litres of Indian Made Foreign Liquor seeks anticipatory Bail.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application.
3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case involving
such grave offence. It is too early to accept the petitioner’s
contention that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. 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 within two
weeks from today and files an application for regular bail, the same
shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on
which it is filed bearing in mind the decision in Sukumari v. State of
Kerala – 2001 (1) KLT 22.
With the above observation this Application is disposed of .
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
