RAMKUMAR, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Bail Appln.No.5955 of 2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated: 01/10/2010 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 & 2 in Crime No.455 of 2010 of Thrissur West Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 420 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 14/10/2010 or on 15/10/2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. 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. In case there is no incriminating material against the petitioners, the investigating officer shall submit a report to that effect before the Magistrate and release the petitioners from custody permitting them to appear before the Magistrate and apply for regular bail. In case the petitioners apply for regular bail, they shall be released on bail preferably on the same date on which the application is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
