DHANABAL.J., The petitioner / accused, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 4(1)(g), 4(1)(aaa) r/w. 4(1-A) ii TN Prohibition Act, in Crime No.381 of 2024, on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner was found in possession of illegal spirit of 100 litres and totally 400 goods of illegal spirit were recovered from him. Hence the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the petitioner is innocent and without inquiring the true facts, the respondent police had falsely implicated him in this case. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) would submit that the petitioner was found in possession 100 litres of illegal spirit. He would further submit that the petitioner has eight previous cases and out of which four cases are pending enquiry. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant Anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
