O R D E R

Petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

2.

Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.138 of 2015 of Adoor Excise Range, Pathanamthitta District. He is alleged to have committed the offence under Section 8

(1) and (2) of Abkari Act.

3.

The prosecution case is that he was found to be in possession of 10 litres of arrack.

4.

Heard.

5.

The learned counsel submits that the petitioner has been in custody since 12.06.2015 and he may be granted bail. Arrack is a prohibited item in Kerala it is a crime against a society. I do not think that if the petitioner is released on bail he will not commit the offence again.

In the result, this application is dismissed. sd/- K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE R.AV
