2. Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.1188 of 2015 of Kollam East Police station registered for the offences under Secs.55(a) and (i) of the Kerala Abkari Act. The prosecution case is that he was found to be in possession of 18.750 litres of Indian Made Foreign Liquor contained in 50 bottles. The seizure was made from his house.

3. Heard both sides.

4. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has been in custody since 01.06.2015. The quantity seized from him is huge.

5. I am not satisfied that if he is released on bail now, he will not commit the offence again.

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