B.A. No.5784 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 04.10.2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in Crime No. 772/2009 of Thampanoor Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 120B,406,409,379,380,420,465 and 471 I.P.C., 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 her application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 18.10.2010 or on 19.10.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate concerned and file an application for regular bail. On being convinced that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police, the Magistrate shall preferably on the same date on which the application is filed, release the petitioner on bail on the petitioner executing a bond for Rs. 15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate and subject to the B.A.No.5784 /2010 -:2:- following conditions:- 1. The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. The petitioner shall make herself available for interrogation including custodial interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. 3. Petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall she attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. 5. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to her shall be liable to be cancelled. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
