Excise Act, 1915 bars anticipatory bail for specified excise offences, and the provision is upheld as a rational classification aimed at unlawful liquor trade and spurious liquor offences affecting public health, social order, and revenue. The restriction is treated as a valid curtailment of the statutory remedy of anticipatory bail because it is confined to defined offences and specified quantities, rather than conferring uncanalised power. The bar applies only where the facts genuinely attract the specified offences; the FIR label is not conclusive, and the Court may examine whether the basic ingredients are actually made out. en-us Mon, 15 Sep 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:28:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168740 Section 59-A(i) of the M.P.
