Application for regular bail. The petitioners are accused 1 and
2 in a crime registered under the provisions of the Kerala Abkari
Act. The crux of the allegations is that they were found to carry 10
litres of arrack in their possession. The first accused was arrested on
7.6.2007. The second accused took to his heels and he surrendered
later on 12.6.2007. They continue in custody from the respective
dates of their arrest. The learned Prosecutor submits that both the
accused are involved in other similar crimes – one each.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners prays, the learned
Prosecutor does not seriously oppose the said prayer on condition that
the Investigator is granted reasonable further time to complete the
investigation I am satisfied that the petitioner can now be directed to
be enlarged on bail subject to appropriate terms and conditions. In
the nature of the antecedents of the petitioners, I find merit in the
submission of the learned Prosecutor that the Investigators may be
given some further time to complete the investigation.
