Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant has prayed for bail in R.A.No.61/2008 of D.R.I.Mumbai. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under section 135 of the Customs Act. It is on the allegations that the applicant was attempting to export six containers of plain rice, representing it to be Dimond Super Delux Basmati Rice, the export of which is prohibited by the Notification dated 1.4.2008 issued by the Central Government under Section 3(ii) of Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, so as to claim excess foreign remittance. It appears that he had made declaration that Basmati rice was being exported. The applicant came to be arrested on 2.9.2008. Investigation is almost complete. No useful purpose will be served by continuing his detention. In the circumstances, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence, the following order. 3. The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.Two lacs with two local sureties to make up the said amount, out of which one would be his brother-in-law, namely, Raju G.Sapling, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the D.R.I., Mumbai on every Wednesday between 10 am and 12 noon for a period of six months from today and thereafter on every alternate Wednesday till the conclusion of trial. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
