                       B.A.No.563 of 2009
                   ------------------------------------------
             Dated, this the 6th    day of February, 2009

                               ORDER

Petition for bail.

2. Alleged offence is under Section 8(2) of the

Abkari Act. According to prosecution, petitioner was found in

possession of 2 litres of illicit arrack on 9.12.2008. Petitioner

was arrested on 9.12.2008 and she is in custody since then.

3. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that

petitioner is aged 63 years and she is involved in two other

cases of similar nature in the years 2006 and 2008. Hence

stringent conditions may be imposed while granting bail, but he

has no objection in granting bail.

4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail

can be granted to petitioner on stringent conditions.

Hence the following order is passed:

i) Petitioner shall execute a bond for

Rs.50,000/- with two solvent sureties

each for the like sum to the satisfaction

of the Magistrate Court concerned.

ii) Petitioner shall report before the

investigating officer on every alternate

day between 10 AM and 1 P.M. until

further orders.

iii) Petitioner shall not leave the limits of the

Excise Range Office within which the

crime is registered, except with the

previous permission of the Magistrate

Court concerned.

iv) Petitioner shall not commit any offence

while on bail and in case of breach of

this condition, the bail is liable to be

cancelled.

Petition is allowed.
