Bail Application No. 3031 of 2010 .................................................................... DATED: 05.08.2010 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 701 of 2008 of Perambra Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec. 376 I.P.C. seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 16-08-2010 or 17-08-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the Police, shall consider and dispose of his application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. The Magistrate may consider the settlement, if any, between the prosecutrix and the petitioner. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 5th day of August, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
