allegedly found to be in possession of 1 litres of arrack on

continues in custody from that date. She has one more case
under the Kerala Abkari Act registered against her, submits the
learned Public Prosecutor.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the
learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer on
condition that the investigating officer is granted reasonable
further time to complete the investigation and I am satisfied that
regular bail can be granted to the petitioner subject to
appropriate conditions.

shall be enlarged on bail on the following terms and conditions:
