ORDER
The petitioners are accused in Crime No. 420 of
2012 of Karikkottakari Police Station, who are alleged to have committed offences punishable under Section 55(a) of the Abkari Act.
others is that on 21.12.2012 at 13.45 hours they were found transporting 85 bottles each containing 180 ml. and 70 bottles each containing 375 ml. of Indian Made Foreign Liquor of Karnataka origin in contravention of the provisions of the Abkari Act. Even though the petitioners are claimed to be innocent, the materials available on record show otherwise. A deeper probe into the allegations is not warranted at this point of time. Suffice is to say, the nature of the offence committed by the petitioners and also the fact that investigation is at an infant stage precludes this court
B.A.9918/2012.

from exercising the extraordinary jurisdiction in favour of the petitioners.
This application is accordingly dismissed.
However, if the petitioners are so advised, they
may surrender before the Investigating Officer on or before 17.01.2013, who, after interrogation, shall produce them before the JFCM Court concerned, which court, on applications for bail being moved by the petitioners, shall dispose of the same in accordance with law.
