The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the accused persons had trespassed into the house of the de facto complainant at about 10.15 p.m. on 17.1.2007 armed with deadly weapons like sword, etc., assaulted him and had also committed theft of a gold chain of the wife of the de facto complainant. 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 regular bail considered by the Magistrate concerned, expeditiously. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 23.2.2007 and 26.2.2007 for the purpose of custodial interrogation and recovery of incriminating materials, if any. The petitioner shall, thereafter, be produced before the Magistrate concerned on the same BA.842/07 : 2 : day. The Magistrate shall consider and dispose of the application for regular bail, if any, filed by the petitioner, preferably on the same day on which it is filed. This application is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
