O R D E R
Application for regular bail. The petitioner faces
allegations under the Kerala Abkari Act. The petitioner was
allegedly found to be in possession of 3 litres of arrack on
31/5/2007. He continues in custody from that date. The learned
Public Prosecutor submits that there is another similar crime
against the petitioner pending.
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. The investigator can be
granted some further time to complete the investigation in a
case like the instant one.
3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner
shall be released 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 07/07/2007. The investigator
shall, in the meantime, make every endeavour to complete the
investigation.
B.A.No.3974/07 2
ii) He shall execute a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty
thousand 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 two
months and thereafter as and when directed by the investigating
officer in writing to do so.
