Application for regular bail. The petitioners are accused 2

and 3 (not A1 and 2 as shown in the petition, submits the learned

Prosecutor). Altogether there are three accused persons. On the

night of 26.2.2008, the accused persons were all allegedly found

involved in the activity of distillation of arrack. 70 litres of

arrack were allegedly seized. The petitioners were apprehended

at the spot. They continue in custody from 26.2.2008. The

learned Prosecutor reports that the petitioners have no history of

any criminal antecedents.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners pray, the learned

Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer on condition that the

Investigators may be granted reasonable further time to complete

the investigation and I am satisfied that the petitioners can now

be directed to be enlarged on bail subject to appropriate terms

and conditions.
