The Principal District & Sessions Judge, Udupi allowed the anticipatory bail petition of George Anil D Souza and Reena Sylvia D Souza, who were accused of illegal liquor transportation under the Karnataka Excise Act. The court found that since the evidence (17 liters of liquor) was already seized, custodial interrogation was unnecessary, and the accused—with no criminal history and local residence—could be secured for trial. The petitioners were granted bail on Rs. 50,000 bond each with conditions including cooperation with investigation, regular trial attendance, and appearance before the investigating officer within 20 days.
