The alleged offence is under Section 55(a) of the Abkari Act. According to prosecution, on 06/07/2009, at about 5:30 p.m, on the basis of a prior information, the police party came to a building in which an automobile workshop was conducted. From the terrace of the building, contraband article was seized. Petitioner was found standing near the building and he escaped on seeing the police. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner has no connection with the workshop from where the article is seized. Only because petitioner was standing near the building, he is implicated in the crime, on some misunderstanding. Petitioner has reported before the Investigating Officer as directed by this court and explained his innocence. 4. This petition is not opposed. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that anticipatory bail can be granted on conditions. Hence, the following order is passed. B.A No.2018 OF 2010 2 (1) Petitioner shall surrender before the Magistrate Court concerned within ten days from today. (2) On such surrender, petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) each with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate on condition that he shall report before the Investigating Officer as and when directed and co-operate with investigation.
