==================== B.A. No. 3017 of 2015 ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2015

O R D E R

Petition filed u/s.439 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioner is alleged to have committed the offences under sections 8 and 55(g) of the Kerala Abkari Act. The allegation is that he was found to be possession of five litres of arrack and 105 litres of spirit.

3. Heard.

4. The application is opposed. The allegations are very serious. The quantity of spirit seized is 105 litres. There is a prima facie case against the petitioner. I am not satisfied that if he is released on bail, he will not commit the very same offence again.

In the result, this application is dismissed. Sd/- K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE DST //True Copy// P.A. To Judge
