Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. It is too early to accept the petitioner's contention that he was only a visitor of the house belonging to his son-in-law and that he is not guilty of the offence alleged against him. 4. 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. dsn/-
