O R D E R
This petition is for bail.
2. The alleged offence is under Section 8(2) of the
Kerala Abkari Act. According to prosecution, petitioner was found
in possession of 8 litres of arrack on 10.1.2009 at 11.45 p.m. He
abandoned the article and ran away, on seeing the police.
3. Petitioner was arrested only on 12.5.2010 and he is
in custody for the past 35 days. Learned Public Prosecutor
submitted that he is involved in various other cases of similar
nature. However, in this case, he has no objection in granting
bail.
4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can
be granted to petitioner on conditions. Hence, the following order
is passed :
Petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a
bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand
only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to
the satisfaction of the court concerned, on the
BA NO.3440/10 2
following conditions :
(i) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating
Officer on every Monday and Thursday
between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further
orders.
(ii) In case the petitioner is involved in any
offence of similar nature, his bail is liable to
be cancelled.
Petition is allowed.
K.HEMA, JUDGE.
