                    Bail Application NO.7688 of 2006

                        --------------------------------

                 Dated this the 1st day of January, 2007


                                  O R D E R

Petitioner,who is the accused in Crime No.225 of 2006 of

Kottarakkara Excise Range for offences punishable under Section 8(i)

and (ii) of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession

of three litres of illicit arrack on 17.12.2006 and who was arrested on

the same day, seeks his enlargement on bail.

2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application

submitting inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in another crime

involving similar offences.,

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 petitioners on bail.

This Application is accordingly dismissed.

V.RAMKUMAR,

JUDGE.
