O R D E R
The petitioner, who is the fifth accused in Crime
No.210/2006 of Vilappilsala Police Station for offences
punishable under Sections 8(2) and 55(a) of the Abkari Act for
allegedly having been found in possession of 8331 litres of spirit
on 22.1.2007 and who was arrested on the same day, seeks his
enlargement on bail.
2. Even though the learned Public Prosecutor opposed
the application, he fairly conceded that the final report has not
been filed in this case even after 60 days of judicial custody of
the petitioner. If so, the petitioner is entitled to bail as of right.
3. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released
on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty
thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like
amount to the satisfaction of the J.F.C.M, Kattakkada, and
subject to the following conditions:
(a). The petitioner shall report before the
Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and
11 a.m. on all Wednesdays.

(d). The petitioner shall not commit any
offence while on bail.
4. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above
conditions, the bail granted to him shall be liable to be
cancelled.
The application is allowed as above.
