Heard learned A.P.P., who opposes the prayer for bail.

In view of the fact that the case is also under the Excise Act and the petitioner was in drunken condition and as such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer of anticipatory bail is rejected with a direction to the petitioner that if the petitioner surrenders and pray for regular bail, the same will be considered by the learned court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by the order of this Court and if possible to be disposed of on same day.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
