O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 55(i) of the Kerala Abkari Act. According to prosecution, petitioner was found near one house by name “Visakham”, selling Indian Made Foreign Liquor. A glass, 700 ml. of Indian Made Foreign Liquor and Rs.80/- were seized from her possession. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that somebody was taking liquor in a nearby construction site and when they saw the Excise officials, they ran away, throwing away the articles. The Excise party questioned petitioner about the persons who ran away, but she could not state their details and hence she is falsely implicated in the offence. Petitioner's son is an Engineering student and daughter is a degree student. She is a widow. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the allegations made in the case diary will reveal that petitioner was involved in sale of Indian Made Foreign Liquor. She is involved in BA NO.2575/10 2 five other crimes of similar nature and this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail, it is submitted. 5. On hearing both sides and on considering the serious nature of the allegations made and the absence of any materials to support the plea of innocence and the chances for repeating the offence, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE. tgs
