The petitioner is the accused in CR.No.20 of 2011 of Kunnamkulam Excise Range. 2. The offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 58 of the Abkari Act. 3. The petitioner had filed B.A.No.6231 of 2011 for anticipatory bail in the same case. That application was dismissed by a detailed order dated 5th August, 2011. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the investigation of the case is almost over and that will constitute a change of circumstance enabling the petitioner to file a second Bail Application. The completion or progress in the investigation may be a ground while considering the BA 7511/2011 2 application for regular bail. But that cannot be a ground for entertaining a second application for anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN JUDGE csl
