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 her application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 11/11/2010 or on 12/11/2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. After interrogation, petitioner shall be produced before the Magistrate concerned who on being convinced that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police, shall release the petitioner on bail on the petitioner executing a bond for Rs.15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand Bail Appln.No.6849/2010 : 2 : only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate and subject to the following conditions:- 1. The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. The petitioner shall make herself available for interrogation including custodial interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. 3. The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall she attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4.
