Petition filed under Sec.438 Cr.P.C.
2. Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.178 of 2015 of Pattambi Police station registered for the offences under Secs.55(a) and (i) of the Kerala Abkari Act. The allegation is that he along with the co-accused was found going on a motor cycle. The Police found 5 litres of Indian Made Foreign Liquor in a bag kept in the motorcycle.
3. Heard both sides.
4. There were two persons on the motorcycle.
The quantity of Indian Made Foreign Liquor seized was only 5 litres. Prima facie it is doubtful whether the petitioner has committed any offence. So I am inclined to grant the prayer.
In the result, the bail application is allowed. 1) The petitioner shall be released on bail after interrogation on his executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- ( Twenty five thousand only) with two
Bail Appl. No.1331 of 2015 2 solvent sureties each for the like sum if he is arrested by the Police in connection with this case.
2) He shall appear before the Investigating Officer for interrogation if he is so required by him in writing.
3) He shall not destroy or tamper with evidence.
In case of violation of any of the above conditions, the learned Magistrate is empowered to cancel the bail in accordance with the law.
