HEMA, J. --------------------------- B.A. No. 2844 of 2010 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of May, 2010 O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. According to the prosecution, one Reghu and his wife Leela, who are husband and wife committed suicide, after writing suicide notes, by consuming poison at their house. Petitioner was spreading rumours in the locality, about the deceased Leela. The deceased Reghu expressed objection to this who was assaulted by petitioner and the couple suicide was forced to commit. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the allegations are not true. The deceased couple has committed suicide because of financial stringencies. The diary seized by the police shows the details of the names of the persons, to whom the deceased owed money. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the investigation is at the initial stage. The suicide notes clearly reveal that petitioner is responsible for the suicide and this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner. B.A. No. 2844 of 2010 2 5. On hearing both sides and on perusal of the case diary, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail, while considering the facts and circumstances of the case. 6. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the petitioner is ready to surrender before the investigating officer and he is bound to co-operate with the investigation. Hence the following order is passed: Petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer without any delay and co-operate with the investigation. Whether he surrenders or not, the police is at liberty to arrest and proceed in accordance with law. This petition is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE ln
