The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 4. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioners should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioners surrender before the Magistrate concerned and file an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same date on which it is filed. Until then, the petitioners shall not be arrested. With the above observation this application is disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
