Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the material on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner canvassed that the he has been falsely implicated in this case on account of political rivalry as he contested the election of Sarpanch. In 30 Cartons, 1440 quarters of country liquor are alleged to have been recovered from the house of the petitioner. The offences are triable by the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class. The case is still pending investigation which is likely to take time, hence he may be granted indulgence of bail. -2- 4. Learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State has opposed the bail petition. 5. Having considered the submissions made at the bar and perused the relevant material available on record, I, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, but keeping in view the quantity of liquor allegedly recovered from the house of the accused petitioner, do feel inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and his bail petition is ordered to be allowed. 6. It is, therefore, ordered that the accused petitioner Khemraj S/o Shri Chhitar Lal, in F.I.R. No. 15/2010 of police station Ghad, District Tonk, shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rs.
