The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature.

Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 01-04-2009 and 4-4-2009 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 concerned. On being convinced that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police, the Magistrate shall release the petitioner on bail on the petitioner executing a bond for Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate and subject to the following conditions:- B.A. No. 1382 of 2009 -:2:- 1. The petitioner shall make herself available for interrogation including custodial interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. 3.

Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. 5. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to her shall be liable to be cancelled.
