Balachandran, J. --------------------------- B.A.No.2799 of 2008 --------------------------- ORDER This is an application for bail filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. 2. Petitioners are Accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.18/08 of Wadakkanchery Excise Range, registered for offences under Sections 8(1) and (2) and 55(g) of the Abkari Act. They were arrested on 2.4.2008 when they were alleged to have been found in possession of five litres of arrack and 180 litres of wash. Considering the period of detention already undergone by the petitioners and the fact that the investigation must have almost been completed by this time, I am of the view that the petitioners can be enlarged on bail, imposing necessary conditions. In the result, allowing this application, I grant bail to the petitioners on each of them executing bail bond for Rs.30,000/- with two solvent sureties each for like sums to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned. BA 2799/08 2 On such release, petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation in the case and 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, petitioners shall not get themselves involved in commission of any offence, shall not influence or intimidate the 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. 6th May, 2008 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
