He has been made accused in the present case merely on the basis of the disclosure made by local Chaukidar. Learned counsel further submits that petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para 3 of the bail application.
5. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail.
6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, as petitioner is a member of the syndicate involved in manufacturing of illicit liquor, I am not inclined to enlarge him on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
7. Accordingly, the application stands dismissed. (Anjani Kumar Sharan, J) divyanshi/- U T
