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 any day between 18.6.07 and 20-6-07 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall release the petitioners on bail on appropriate conditions. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
