PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 07/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.2628 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 7th day of April 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in O.R.No.4 of 2010 of Mallappally Excise Range and now pending before the Additional District and Sessions Court Adhoc -I, Pathanamthitta , seeks his enlargement on bail. He was found in possession of 330 litres of spirit. He was arrested on 23.01.2011. During the crime stage he was released on bail. Thereafter he absconded and the case had been transferred to the Long Pending Register by the Committal Court. The petitioner was eventually arrested on 12.01.2011 in execution of the non-bailable warrant against the petitioner. He is involved in other Abkari offences as well. The present case is now pending trial. If, at the stage of trial of the case, the petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely flee from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. The trial Judge shall expedite the trial of S.C.No.60/2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
