The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner although a lady is involved in two other abkari crimes. 3. It is too early to accept the petitioner's contention that she has been falsely implicated in the case. Moreover, I am not satisfied that both the grounds enumerated under Section 41A (b)(ii) of the Abkari Act are present in this case so as to justify her release on bail. With the above observation this Application is dismissed. Dated this the 25th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
