RAMKUMAR, J. ............................... B.A. No.6814 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 29th day of October, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 2nd accused in O.R.4/2010 of Mannarkadu Division, Mannarkadu Range Office, Palakkad for offences punishable under Section 2(2), (14), (33), (36) Section 9, Section 39(1), (C) (D), Section 49 and Section 51(1) (A) of Wild Life Conservation Act 1972, 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 11.11.2010 or on 12.11.2010 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 preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
