4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case merely because he happens to be the registered owner of the said vehicle.

He further submits that the petitioner had no knowledge about illicit liquor being kept therein. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent.
5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has been made accused merely because he happens to be the registered owner of the motorcycle, which was borrowed by his relative for his daughter's marriage, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
6. This application is, accordingly, allowed.
