No.56/07 of Chengannur Excise Range for offences punishable under Secs.55(a) and 55(i) of the Abkari Act, for having been found in possession of 20 litres of illicit arrack on 4.4.07, seeks her enlargement on bail. Petitioner was arrested on 7.4.07. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. It is too early to accept the petitioner's contention that she 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 her release on bail. This application is accordingly dismissed. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
