The petitioner was arrested on 24/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is accused in three other cases involving abkari offences. 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 skj
