Application for regular bail. Petitioners are accused
Nos.1 to 4. They face allegations in a crime registered
alleging commission of offences punishable under the Kerala
Abkari Act. The petitioners were arrested on 17.11.07 and
continue in custody from that date. I have adverted to the
facts in detail in the order dated 10.12.07 in BA.6383/07. This
order must be read in continuation of the said order and I am
not, hence, adverting to the facts in any greater detail in this
order. That petition was dismissed with the observation that
the petitioner can move this Court for bail again on a later
date prior to 24.12.07. Accordingly, this petition is filed on
28.12.07.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners prays, the
learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer
and I am satisfied that the petitioners, who have no criminal
BA.8155/07
: 2 :
antecedents and who have remained in custody from
17.11.07 can now be enlarged on bail subject to appropriate
terms and conditions.
3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The
petitioners shall be enlarged on bail on the following terms
and conditions:
i) The petitioners shall execute bonds for Rs.50,000/-
(Rupees fifty thousand only) each with two solvent sureties
each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned
Magistrate.
ii) The petitioners shall make themselves 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 from the date of their release and thereafter as and
when directed by the investigating officer in writing to do so.
