As per the prosecution story, on receiving information from the informant police made a search and recovered 360 bulk liters of illicit liquor from the possession of applicant. On the basis of which, the offence has been registered against the present applicant under the aforesaid section.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He is in custody since 03.09.2025.
