PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 22/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ................................... B.A. No.2077 of 2011 .................................. Dated: 22.03.2011 O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec.438 Cr.P.C. the petitioner who is the accused in Cr. No.15/2010 of Mayyil Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 326 I.P.C. seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor, on instructions, submitted that after the conclusion of investigation a final report has already been filed before the trial Court. If so, it is not desirable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner since he cannot be directed to appear before the Investigating Officer after the conclusion of investigation and after the matter is in the seizin of the Court. The appropriate order in such circumstances can only be one to direct the petitioner to surrender before the trial Court and seek regular bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial Court and apply for regular bail within two weeks from Bail A.No.2077/ 2011 -:2:- today. In case the petitioner complies with the above direction, the trial Court shall consider and dispose of the application for bail on merits preferably on the same date on which it is filed, not withstanding the pendency of non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner. This application is disposed of as above. Dated, this the 22 nd day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
