Crl.O.P.No.23134 of 2023 Crl.O.P.No.23134 of 2023 C.V.KARTHIKEYAN,J.

The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 17.09.2023 for the offences punishable under Sections 4(1)(aaa), 4(1)(h), 4(1A)(ii) of Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act r/w 328 IPC in Crime No.537 of 2023 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail. 2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is no way connected with the alleged offence and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Thus, he prays for grant of bail for the petitioner. 3.It is stated by the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) that on 17.09.2023, at about 09.05 hours, when the respondent police were in routine vehicle check up at Natrampalli, in a car, 1152 packets of Old Secret Sterong XXX Rum were found. On enquiry it was found that the same was purchased from Karnataka.

Therefore, a case was registered against the accused. Thus, he prayed for dismissal of this petition. 4.Taking into consideration, the gravity of the issue and also that there is an interstate transport of liquor, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. 09.10.2023 mkn2/sli https://www.mhc.tn.gov.
