RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2767 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 15 .05.2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 4th accused in Crime No.165/07 of Thalassery Police Station for offences punishable under Secs.448, 427 and 380 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 his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 22-5-2007 and 24-05-2007 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider and dispose of his application for bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
