V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.599 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st day of January, 2011 ORDER In this Petition filed under Sec.439 Cr.P.C. the petitioner who is the accused in Crime No.2 of 2011 of Aryanad Excise Range for offences punishable under Sections 8(1) & (2) of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession of 5 litres of arrack, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 10/01/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in yet another abkari case involving 5 litres of arrack. 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 skj
