RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 1297 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of March, 2009. O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 501 of 2007 of Koratty Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 416, 417, 420 and 465 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 25.03.2009 and 27.03.2009 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 release him on bail on appropriate conditions. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 19th day of March, 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
