                                      ORDER

The learned counsel for the petitioners prays, the learned Public

Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I am satisfied that in

the light of the decision in State of Kerala and Others v. Unni

[2007(1) KLT 151 (S.C) ], this prosecution in which the only allegation

is that the percentage of Ethyl Alcohol in toddy exceeds the

permissible figure cannot be sustained. This Crl.M.C is, in these

circumstances, allowed. All proceedings in pursuance of

C.R.No.186/2005 of Excise Range Office, Karunagapally, Kollam

against the petitioners are hereby quashed.

(R.BASANT, JUDGE)
