4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case due to oblique motive and village politics. He next submits that the petitioner was not present at the place of occurrence and his name has been transpired on the basis of secret information.

Rather, the same has been recovered in from semiconstructed Anganwadi Centre near the village water tank, which is open space accessible to all and sundry.

Regards being had to the submission made by the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the name of the petitioner has transpired on the basis of secret information and illicit liquor has not been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner, rather, the same has been recovered from open space accessible to all and sundry, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
