RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... Bail Application No. 4917 of 2010 .......................................... Dated this the 3rd day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the first accused in Crime No.139/2010 of Devilulam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 406, 420 and 468 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code., 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 15.09.2010 or 16.09.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced 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. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ln
