3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and no seizure was made in person from him. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 06.01.2017 and the alleged seizure having been made, no further investigation is necessary, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail.

Act was registered against him.

5. Taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances and the fact that the quantity of seized liquor in this case is only 6.300 bulk litres; offence is triable by the JMFC and the applicant is in jail since 6.01.2017 this Court is inclined to release him on bail.
