Summary The court granted anticipatory bail to two petitioners accused of illegally transporting 86 bottles of liquor (64.5 liters) for sale under the Karnataka Excise Act. The judge found that while evidence suggests their involvement, the offenses are not capital or life-imprisonment crimes, and establishing guilt requires trial. The petitioners were released on personal bonds of Rs. 50,000 each with sureties, subject to conditions including appearing before investigating officers, not tampering with witnesses, and not leaving India without court permission.
