ORDER
Application for regular bail. The petitioner - a woman, faces allegations under the Kerala Abkari Act. She was allegedly found to be in possession of 190 packets x 150 ml. of arrack. The offence was detected on 24/6/07. The petitioner could not be arrested as there was no woman official in the party which detected the crime. She came to this Court with an application for anticipatory bail. The same was dismissed with observations as per Annexure-I order. Later, she surrendered before the learned Magistrate on 19/7/07. She continues in custody from that date. The learned Public Prosecutor reports that the petitioner is an accused in another earlier offence under the Abkari Act.2. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the learned Public Prosecutor does not seriously oppose the said prayer on condition that the Investigator is granted reasonable further time to complete the investigation and I am satisfied B.A. NO. 4741 of 2007 -: 2 :- that the petitioner can now be directed to be enlarged on bail subject to appropriate terms and conditions.
3. In the result:
(a) This application is allowed. The petitioner shall be
released on bail on the following terms and conditions:
(i) The petitioner shall not be released from custody on the
strength of this order prior to 10/8/2007. The Investigator

in the meantime, make every endeavour to complete the
investigation.

a bond for Rs.50,000/- with
two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of
the learned Magistrate.
