The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner was found in illegal possession of Block Pearl -2, Top Star -2, Golden Choice -4, totalling 8 bottles, for the purpose of sale. Hence, the case. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that he is an innocent person and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that he is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent submitted that there are five previous cases pending against the petitioner and if anticipatory bail is granted, it will send a wrong signal to the society. Therefore, he opposed the petition. 5. I have given anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also taking note of the fact that there are five previous cases pending against the petitioner and if anticipatory bail is granted, there is every likelihood that the petitioner https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 9670 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 would commit similar kind of offence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 17-04-2026 DRL To 1.The Inspector of Police Kammapuram Police Station, Cuddalore District. 2.The Public Prosecutor, High Court, Madras. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 9670 of 2026 __________ Page4 of 4 C.KUMARAPPAN, J.
