O R D E R

Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

2.

Petitioner is accused of having committed the offence under Section 55(i) of the Abkari Act. The prosecution case is that she kept 1.700 litres of Indian Made Foreign Liquor for sale. The Excise Officers seized liquor along with glass, water and Rs.70/-. 3.

Heard.

4.

The application is opposed. The materials relied on by the prosecution indicate involvement of the petitioner. There are no grounds to believe that she has not committed the offence; merely because she is a 67 year old lady, anticipatory bail cannot be granted.

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