Though it is the contention that even from the so called disclosure statement of A1 with whom the so called liquor bottles were seized what he simply stated he purchased from the shop of A2 that makes no offence at all. It is the matter to be investigated into by the police and there is nothing to admit the petition. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. All the available defences are left open. However, the Police are directed to complete the investigation and file final report, within a period of two months from today and pending investigation, the petitioner/ A2 shall not be arrested. This order will not prevent the Police to secure the petitioner/ A2 for the purpose of investigation, as and when required.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE Dr. B.SIVA SANKARA RAO Date: 19.09.2017 pab
