Petition filed under Sec.439 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.39 of 2015 of Kalikavu Excise Range registered for the offence under Sec.55(a) of the Kerala Abkari Act. The prosecution case is that the petitioner was found to be in possession of 66 litres of Indian Made Foreign Liquor which was meant to be sold only in Karnataka.

3. Heard both sides. The application is opposed by the learned Public Prosecutor.

4. The quantity of liquor seized from the petitioner is very huge which indicates the purpose for which he kept it in his possession. There are no grounds to believe that the petitioner has not committed the offence or that he will not commit the same again if he is released on bail.

In the result, the bail application is dismissed. Sd/- K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE NS
