RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 919 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2009. O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 to 4 in Crime No. 20/2009 of Bedakam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324 and 308 r/w Section 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 any day between 10.03.2009 and 11.03.2009 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider and dispose of their applications for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. -:2:- rv
