O R D E R

¶19

Petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No.45/2006 of Pathanapuram Excise Range for an offence punishable under Sec. 55(g) of the Abkari Act for allegedly having been found in joint possession of 2280 liters of wash along with A2 and A3 on 6-6-2006, seeks anticipatory Bail.

¶20

The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the 2^nd accused was arrested and he was granted regular bail after the expiry of 60 days..

¶21

I am not satisfied that both the grounds enumerated under sec.41A (b)(ii) of the Abkari Act are present in this case so as to justify the grant of anticipatory bail. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. If the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned within two weeks from today and files an application for regular bail, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on which it is filed considering grievance of the petitioner if any, supported by documents to be produced.

¶22

With the above observation this Application is dismissed.
