According to the prosecution, the petitioner along with two other accused were found transporting 840 litres of spirit in 24 cans in a vehicle. They ran away from the scene leaving behind the contraband article, on seeing the police. A crime was registered against them and petitioner is the second accused. 2. The petitioner was arrested in connection with another crime and his arrest was recorded in this case formally on 20th May 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he is falsely implicated in this case. 3. This petition is opposed. Learned public prosecutor submitted that the first and third accused are to be arrested and the release of the petitioner is likely to prevent the arrest of the co-accused. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied of the submissions made by learned public prosecutor. But, I do not find any reason to accept plea of innocence and to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE csl
