Headnote
v. State of Madras Venkalarama Ayy"' ], November, 29. 414 SUPREME COURT REPORTS [1957J offence under s. 4(1)(g) to be in possession of materials, still, implement or apparatus whatsoever for the tapping of toddy or the manufacture of liquor. Under s. 4(2)(a), if a person is found to be therefor. The contention, therefore, that there is no reasonable relation between the .presumption and the offence is, in our opinion, based on a misreading of the section. Both the contentions urged on behalf of the appel­ lants having failed, these appeals are dismissed. Appeal
