A. No.2837 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of May, 2008 ORDER This is an application for bail under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. The petitioners are accused Nos.2 and 3 in Crime No.10/08 of Paravur Excise Range registered for offence under Section 58 of the Abkari Act. They were arrested on 24/03/08 and are in custody ever thereafter. Considering the period of detention already undergone, I am of the view that the petitioners can be enlarged on bail imposing stringent conditions. In the result, allowing this application, I grant bail to the petitioners on their executing bail bond for Rs.20,000/- each with two solvent sureties each for the like sums to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned. On such release, the petitioners 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. B. A. No.2837 of 2008 -2- On release, the petitioners shall not get themselves 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 they are having their permanent residence, the details of which shall be furnished to the Court and to the Investigating Officer immediately on release on bail.
