Heard.

The applicant, apprehending arrest in connection with crime registered against him for the offence punishable under Section 65(a) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act and Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, has sought pre-arrest bail. The crime is registered against the applicant and co-accused with the accusations that country liquor worth Rs.8,00,000/- is seized from a "Bolero" vehicle in Chandrapur district and co-accused Raju Atram (who was driving the vehicle) was arrested and he disclosed that the stock belongs to the present applicant. According to the investigating agency, liquor was being transported to Chandrapur district where sale of liquor is prohibited.

2 aba296.17 The application is opposed on the ground that co-accused Kuldeep Jaiswal, in whose name the vehicle stands, is not traceable and custodial interrogation of the applicant is required for further investigation. The learned A.P.P. has pointed out that 2 crimes for similar offences are registered against the applicant. Considering the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant the prayer made in the application. The application is dismissed.

The applicant shall surrender within one week, failing which note of his conduct may be taken in all the proceedings against him.

JUDGE Tambaskar.
