Application for regular bail. The petitioner faces allegations

under the Kerala Abkari Act. He, a worker in a resort, is alleged to

be responsible for possession of 9 bottles of beer which were

allegedly found available in the resort. The detection and seizure

continues in custody from that date. He has no history of any

criminal antecedents, submits the learned Public Prosecutor.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the learned

Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I am satisfied

that regular bail can be granted to the petitioner subject to

appropriate conditions.

3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner shall

be enlarged on bail on the following terms and conditions:

i) He shall execute a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty

five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum

to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate.

interrogation before the investigating officer as and when directed

by the investigating officer in writing to do so.
