SALIM THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 22/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. NO. 5741 of 2009 .......................................... Dated: 22nd March, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 13 and 14 in Crime No. 275 of 2009 of Harippad Police Station, Alappuzha for an offence punishable under Section 411 of I.P.C. seek 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 petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have their application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on 26-3-2010 or 27-3-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider and dispose of his application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 22nd day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
