RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------- B.A. No. 1305 of 2011 --------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of February, 2011. O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. the petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No.23 of 2011 of Karamana Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram for offences punishable under Sections 12(c), 55 (c) and (g) of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession of the materials used for the manufacture of Indian made foreign liquor, seeks his enlargement on bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner was carrying stickers and lables of Beverages Corporation, three bottles of caramel to be used as a colouring agent etc. and the attempt was to prepare spurious bottles of IMFL in large quantity and market the same as an IMFL. 3. It is too early to accept the petitioner's contention that he has been falsely implicated in the case. Moreover, I am not satisfied that both the grounds enumerated under sec.41A (b)(ii) of the Abkari Act are present in this case so as to justify his release on bail. With the above observation this Application is dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. Rv //True Copy// P.A to Judge.
