The petitioner faces<\/p>\n<p>allegations under the Kerala Abkari Act. He, along with the co-<\/p>\n<p>accused, was allegedly involved in the transportation of 3200<\/p>\n<p>litres of spirit in a lorry, which had specially constructed<\/p>\n<p>contrivances to illicitly transport spirit.            The petitioner was<\/p>\n<p>arrested on 7.11.2007 and he continues in custody from that date.<\/p>\n<p>      2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is innocent.      He, who has been in custody from<\/p>\n<p>7.11.2007, may now be enlarged on bail, prays the counsel.<\/p>\n<p>      3. The learned Prosecutor opposes the application. He<\/p>\n<p>submits that efforts are afoot to trace the higher links involved in<\/p>\n<p>the case. At the moment accused 1 and 2 have been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators need further time to complete the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner may not be granted regular bail now, submits the<\/p>\n<p>learned Prosecutor.\n<\/p>\n<p>B.A.No. 7704 of 2007<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      4. In the wake of opposition by the Public Prosecutor regular<\/p>\n<p>bail can be granted to the petitioner only if this court is in a position to<\/p>\n<p>entertain both the satisfactions contemplated under Section 41A of the<\/p>\n<p>Kerala Abkari Act.     In the facts and circumstances of this case, I am<\/p>\n<p>unable to entertain either of those satisfactions.<\/p>\n<p>      5.    This application is, in these circumstance, dismissed. But I<\/p>\n<p>may hasten to observe that the petitioner shall be at liberty to move the<\/p>\n<p>court for bail again at a later stage of the investigation,      not at any<\/p>\n<p>rate,   prior to 28.12.2007.
