The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. He has been made accused in this case on the saying of co-accused in his confessional statement, which has got no legal sanctity. The place, from recovery has been made, does not belong to this petitioner, who has nothing to do with the allegedly seized liquor. The petitioner is having clean antecedent.
