(2.) LEARNED Additional Government Advocate has informed this Court that the instructions have been received in this matter by him. LEARNED counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is the licenced dealer of country made liquor with other partners. They get pouches of country made liquor from the warehouse of the Excise Department at the rate of Rs. 1. 40 per pouch which is sold out @ Rs. 22 per pouch. The dealer has to sell his quota compulsorily which is seven Lacs litres per month. The dealer only sells out five lacs litres and remaining two lacs litres is left out and the liquor is sold out through the salesman who is a person approved and cleared by the Excise Department. The applicant is not a manufacturer. The sam ple which was sent for chemical analysis was taken from sealed pouches which were supplied by the Excise Department. It has further been contended that the salesman used to sell the country made liquor and not the applicant in person and if for the sake of argument some unauthorised pouches were sold out by the sales man it can be ascertained from the investigation only and in that case the salesman who is an approved salesman by the Excise De partment would be responsible for crimi nal action. He has further submitted that the applicant is a chronic heart patient since long and has been suffering from various cardiac and pulmonary- complica tion. His treatment is under way at S. P. G.
