¶11

The prosecution alleges that when a raid was conducted by the Police on 19.4.2017, from the possession of the applicant 11.700 bulk litres of illicit liquor was seized.

¶12

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and no seizure was made in person from him. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 19.04.2017 and the alleged seizure having been made, no further investigation is necessary, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail.
