¶26

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case, as the driver of car, from where 75 litres of illicit liquor was alleged to be recovered, without having any connecting evidence. It is also submitted that 2 litres of illicit liquor was said to be recovered from the house of this petitioner, just to implicate him and to connect him with alleged recovery of 75 litres of illicit liquor. It is also pointed out that the compliance of Section 100(4) of the Cr.P.C. not appears to be made in present case. While concluding the argument, it has been submitted that petitioner is a man of clean antecedent and moreover, investigation has been completed, for which, charge-sheet has been submitted, as such, there is no chance of tampering with
