Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioners should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioners surrender before the Magistrate concerned and file an application for regular bail within 10 days from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With the above observation this application is dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
