RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No. 1749 of 2007 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated, this the 22nd day of March 2007 ORDER Petitioner is a lady and who is an accused in C.R.No. 8 of 2007 of Konni Excise Range for offences punishable under Sections 8(1) and 8(2) of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in possession of one litre of illicit arrack 2-2-2007, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. It is too early to accept the petitioner's contention that she has been falsely implicated in this case. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before Magistrate concerned and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on which it is filed bearing in mind the decision in 2001 (1) KLT 22 - Sukumari v. State of Kerala and also after considering the medical grounds urged on behalf of the petitioner. This application is disposed of accordingly. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
