The alleged offence is under Section 8(2) of the Abkari Act. According to prosecution, first and second accused were found engaged in sale of arrack on 25.05.2010. On seeing the excise officials, petitioner, who is the second accused ran away and first accused was arrested from the spot. 2½ litres of arrack were seized. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner was an informant in respect of commission of offences under the Abkari Act. Recently, excise officials wanted petitioner to give information about the commission of such offences. He could not give information and hence he is falsely implicated in this case, it is submitted. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is involved in various other crimes of similar nature and he was also convicted in a case for offence under the Abkari Act. B.A. No. 3844 / 2010 2 5. On hearing both sides, I find that petitioner has not made out any ground to get any anticipatory bail. I am satisfied of the submission made by learned Public Prosecutor and it appears that petitioner himself was an accused in cases involving offence under Abkari Act and he was convicted for similar offence also. Hence, there is absolutely no ground to grant anticipatory bail. No further application for anticipatory bail by petitioner in this crime will be entertained by this court hereafter. This petition is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE ln
