Dated this the 6th day of May, 2008
ORDER
This is an application for bail under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C.
The petitioner is accused in Crime No.53/08 of
Mangalapuram Police Station registered for offences under Sections
55(a) and (h) of the Abkari Act consequent on detection of
transporting by him of 7 bottles each containing 35 litres of spirit in a
car bearing registration No.KLV 4171 at about 8.15 p.m on
27/02/08. He was arrested and produced before court on 28/02/08
and he continues in custody thereafter his application for bail having
been dismissed by the Magistrate vide Annexure-I order on 01/03/08.
Considering the period of detention already undergone by the
petitioner, I am of the view that the petitioner can be enlarged on bail
imposing stringent conditions.
In the result, allowing this application I grant bail to the
petitioner on his executing bail bond for Rs.20,000/- with two
solvent sureties each for the like sums to the satisfaction of the
Magistrate concerned.
B. A. No.2870 of 2008 -2-
On such release, the petitioner shall appear before the
Investigating Officer between 10 a.m. and 12 noon on all days for a
period of two weeks and thereafter on every alternate days for a
period of one month and thereafter on all Tuesdays and Fridays only
till the investigation in the case is over and final report is laid.
On release, the petitioner shall not get himself involved in
commission of any offence, shall not influence or intimidate
witnesses in the case and shall not, except for the purpose of
appearing before the Investigating Officer, if need be, move beyond
the territorial limits of the town in which he is having his permanent
residence, the details of which shall be furnished to the Court and to
the Investigating Officer immediately on release on bail.
