RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... Bail Application No. 5324 of 2010 .......................................... Dated this the 8th day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos.1 to 4 in Crime No. 741/2010 of Parassala Police Station for offences punishable under Section 379 r/w 34 I.P.C., seek 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 petitioners 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 petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on 18.09.2010 or 20.09.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sou.
