O R D E R
In this Petition filed under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. the petitioner who is the
accused in O.R. No.63/2005 of Alappuzha Excise Range for offences
punishable under sections 8(1) and 8(2) of the Abkari Act for allegedly
having been found in possession of 3 litres of illicit arrack 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
