The incident happened on 14.7.2010 and petitioner was arrested from the spot. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner belongs to working class and Beverages Corporation is situated about 40 Kms. away from petitioner's place. The co- workers used to entrust the petitioner to purchase liquor, whenever he goes. This used to be done in turn by each other worker, but it is not intended for sale. Petitioner is in custody for the past 17 days. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is not reported to be involved in any other case and hence, he has no objection in granting bail. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be granted to petitioner on conditions.
