                   petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

                   present case. No incriminating material has been recovered from

                   the conscious possession of the petitioner. The petitioner has got

                   no concern with the alleged recovery of liquor. Learned counsel

                             5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the

                     prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

                             6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the

                     case and the period of custody undergone by the petitioner, this
