O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. the petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No.6 of 2011 of Venmani Police Station, Alappuzha for offences punishable under Sections 8(1), (2) and 55(a) of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession of 175 litres of spirit, seeks his enlargement on bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 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. rv
