Bail Application No. 3067 of 2010 ......................................... Dated: 23rd September, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are the accused Nos. 1 to 5 in Crime No. 356 of 2010 of Konni Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 323, 498 A and 447 read with Sec. 34 I.P.C.seek 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 petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have their application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on 4-10-2010 0 or 5- 10-2010 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioners shall, thereafter, be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2010. Sd/-V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani/ /true copy/ P.S. to Judge
