THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Criminal Petition No.1022 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner herein is A.4 in CC.No.319/2009 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Chirala, Prakasam District. The accusation leveled against the petitioner is that he is transporting the IMFL bottles to the belt shops without valid license. The involvement of the petitioner came to be known by the confessional statement of A.1 to A.3, who came to be apprehended along with the IMFL bottles. Heard learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the respondent-State. Learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the Excise police are vindictive to the petitioner and therefore he has been implicated falsely in this case. A further submission has been made that except the confessional statement of A.1 to A.3, no material has been gathered by the Investigating Officer to establish that the petitioner purchased the contraband from the shop of A.5. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the respondent- State opposed the application. As seen from the material brought on record, the incident is stated to have taken place on 16.09.2006. The police completed investigation and filed charge sheet before the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Chirala and thereupon, the Magistrate took the Charge sheet on file as CC.No.319/09 and issued NBW against the petitioner. Such is the situation, I am of the view that the petitioner does not deserve for grant of anticipatory bail. However, the petitioner is at liberty to surrender himself before the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class and move an application seeking for regular bail, in which event the learned Magistrate has to consider the same, as practicably as possible, on the same day. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________________ B.Seshasayana Reddy, J 10th February, 2011 Ksm/Smr
