Petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioner is accused in Crime No.90 of 2015 of Karunagappally Excise Range registered for the offence under Sec.8(2) of the Kerala Abkari Act. The prosecution case is that the petitioner was found to be in possession of 10 litres of arrack.

3. Heard both sides.

4. Learned counsel submits that as the petitioner has been in custody since 20.06.2015, he may be granted bail. The only object of the petitioner was to make money. The petitioner would have ruined many people by doing the illegal activity of selling arrack. It is not at all proper to grant him bail before the conclusion of the investigation.

In the result, the bail application is dismissed. Sd/- K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE / True Copy / NS P.A. To Judge
