4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Nothing was recovered from his conscious possession and the petitioner has no concern with the alleged vehicle or liquor. The petitioner was not arrested at the spot. The petitioner has four criminal antecedents of similar nature.
5. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is involved in four other cases of similar nature, I do not think it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail, which is hereby rejected. (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) Nirmal/- U T
