O R D E R
Application for regular bail. The petitioner is the second
accused. He faces allegations under the Kerala Abkari Act. He
was allegedly having possession of 1000 litres of wash. Offence
was detected on 10/9/2007. The co-accused was arrested on that
day. The petitioner surrendered long later on 15/1/2008. He has
no history of any criminal antecedents, submits the learned
Public Prosecutor.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor submits that the
allegations are serious and in these circumstances, the State
agrees only to the grant of bail to the petitioner after giving the
investigating officer the full complement of sixty days to
complete the investigation. 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) The petitioner shall not be released on bail on the
strength of this order prior to 15/03/2008. The investigating
officer shall, in the meantime, make every endeavour to
complete the investigation.
B.A.No.1349/08 2
ii) He shall execute a bond for Rs.1,00,000/-
(Rupees one lakh only) with two solvent sureties each for the
like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate.
iii) The petitioner shall make himself available for
interrogation before the investigating officer between 10 a.m
and 12 noon on all Mondays and Fridays for a period of three
months from the date of his release and thereafter as and when
directed by the investigating officer in writing to do so.
