G. S. AHLUWALIA
Kalyan Kewat – Appellant
Versus
State of Madhya Pradesh – Respondent
JUDGMENT
G.S. ahluwalia, J. - This second application under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. has been filed for grant of bail. The first application was dismissed by a detailed order dated 14.12.2021 passed in M.Cr.C.No.60422/2021 with liberty to revive the prayer after undergoing some reasonable period of detention.
The applicant has been arrested on 14.11.2021 in connection with Crime No.410/2021 registered at Police Station Dharnavada, District Guna for offence under Section 34(2) of Excise act.
according to the prosecution case, 60 bulk litres of country made liquor has been seized from the possession of the applicant and the applicant has a criminal history. Previously, the applicant has been convicted in two offences of similar in nature and one more offence under Section 34 of Excise act is pending against him. The trial is likely to take sufficiently long time and there is no possibility of his absconding or tampering with the prosecution case.
Per contra, the application is vehemently opposed by the counsel for the State.
Since the applicant has not shown any improvement in his life, therefore, he cannot be granted bail except on stringent condition of furnishing cash surety.
