Petition for bail.
2. The alleged offence is under section 8(2) of the Abkari
Act. According to prosecution, petitioner was found carrying
arrack in a can on 10-9-2008 and on seeing the Excise officials,
he ran away, abandoning the article. The article was found to be
10 litres of arrack and on search of the premises, another 10
litres of arrack were found in the bushes and hence, the case was
registered against him.
3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that
petitioner was not arrested from the spot. He surrendered before
the Magistrate Court, after rejection of the anticipatory bail
application. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that he has no
objection in granting bail on conditions.
4. Hence, petitioner shall be released on bail on his
executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- with two solvent sureties each
for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate,
on the following conditions:-
1) Petitioner shall report before the
Investigating Officer on every Monday and
