Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the 2025:JHHC:19913 prayer for anticipatory bail. 6. Considering the nature of allegation that an illegality has been committed in selling of liquor and there is mismatch of sum of Rs.58,75,818.00/-, which is also alleged to have been defalcated by the petitioner and others, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. 7.
