O R D E R
Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.
2.
Petitioner is said to have committed the offence under Section 55(a) of the Abkari Act.
3.
On getting information from a source excise officers went to the place of occurrence from where they seized 6 litres of arrack kept in a 10 litre capacity can. It is alleged that it was the petitioner who kept the arrack. 4.
Heard.
5.
It is true that the excise officers have so far not collected any direct evidence to prove the occurrence. But the statement of the witnesses questioned by them indicate that there is every reason to suspect that the petitioner is the culprit. This reasonable suspicious is sufficient to arrest him. The application is opposed by the learned Public Prosecutor. At this stage there is no ground to believe that the petitioner has not committed the offence. So I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to
B.A. No.3901 of 2015 him.
In the result, this application is dismissed. K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE R.AV
