RAMKUMAR, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ B.A. No. 6157 OF 2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated: 7th day of October, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is the 10th accused in Crime No.156/2008 of Venmani Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 307, 120B, 511 of 436 read with 34 I.P.C. and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 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 21/10/2010 or on 22/10/2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of his application for regular bail B.A. No. 6157 OF 2010 2 preferably on the same date on which it is filed. In case there is no incriminating material against the petitioner, the investigating officer shall submit a report to that effect before the Magistrate and release the petitioner on bail. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
