Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 23/9/2010 or on 24/9/2010 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 Bail Appln.No.4801/2010 : 2 : 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 skj
