The occurrence took place on 6.9.2006 during the course of which the defacto complainant was attacked with deadly weapons like sword stick, iron rod, etc. The weapons are yet to be recovered. The role attributed to the petitioner was to transport the assailants to and from the scene of occurrence. 2. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned within 10 days from today and files an application for regular bail, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With this observation, this application is dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dsn
