RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3490/2007 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of June, 2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No.129/2007 of Kurathikkad Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 306 and 498A 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 18-6-2007 and 20- 6-2007 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 consider his application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which such application is filed, bearing in mind the decision reported in (2007 SAR (Cri) 144). This application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE mrcs
