                    Dated this the 13th day of March, 2007


                                      O R D E R

Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.62/07 of Sulthan

Bathery Police Station for an offence punishable under section 55(a) of

the Abkari Act for allegedly having been transported in a bus 66.750

litres of IMFL in 89 bottles on 8.2.2007, seeks his enlargement on bail.

2. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application

submitting, inter alia, that the IMFL in question were purchased from

Pondicherry and were transported to Kerala for the purpose of sale.

3. I am not satisfied that both the grounds enumerated under

Clause (b)(ii) of Sec. 41 A of the Abkari Act are present in this case so

as to justify the release of the petitioner on bail.

This application is accordingly dismissed.

(V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE)
