JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS order governs the disposal of bail application filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. by Mr. Manphool Ram, Advocate on behalf of the applicants pertaining to F.I.R. No. 119/2007 of police station Sawar, District Ajmer in the offences under Sections 19/54 of Rajasthan Excise Act.

(2.) HEARD the 'learned Counselfor the petitioners as also the learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the material on record.

(3.) LEARNED Public Prosecutor has vociferously opposed the bail petitioner primarily on the ground that the petitioners had been absconding since registration of the case. They filed many complaints against the investigating officers and thus the investigation of the case was transferred from one officer to the other by senior police authorities during a period of last two years. The police found the petitioners to be the accused of this case on 29.9.2007, after recording the statement of one Akshay Raj, who was looking after the community centre and who had handed over the keys of the community centre to the petitioners on their demand for their personal use. The petitioners had been absconding earlier and causing interruption in the investigation and this is reason that the investigation could not be completed till date. Keeping in view the huge quantity of liquor recovered from the possession of the petitioners, the bail petition should be dismissed.
