Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as stated in paragraph-3 of the bail application.

Taking into consideration the fact that foreign liquor
