UDAYABHANU, J. ---------------------------------------------------------------- B.A.NO 2223 OF 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------ DATED THIS THE 24TH DAY OF APRIL 2007 ORDER This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. The petitioner is the accused in Crime No. 12/2007 of Nedumangad Excise Range. The offences are under Sections 8(1) and (2) of the Abkari Act. It is contended that petitioner is innocent of the offences alleged. Considering the nature of the offence I find that it is not a fit case to invoke Section 438 Cr.P.C. All the same, the accused may surrender before the appropriate court and apply for bail which shall be considered by the court below and disposed of as per law as far as possible on the same day itself. Non bailable warrant is to be kept in abeyance till then. K.R.UDAYABHANU, JUDGE. RV
