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

Oth
ers v. Unni and another [2007(1) KLJ (S.C) 97], this

prosecution in which the only allegation is that the percentage of

Ethyl Alcohol in toddy exceeds the permissible figure cannot be

sustained. This Criminal Miscellaneous Case is, in these

circumstances, allowed. All proceedings in pursuance of

CR.No.14/2003 of Vamanapuram Excise Range against the

petitioners are hereby quashed.

(R.BASANT, JUDGE)
