BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR P.N. SUKUMARAN THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- Bail Application No. 1400/2007 ----------------------------- Dated this 9th day of March, 2007 O R D E R The petitioner, who is the first accused in Crime No.390/2005 of Nemom Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324, 294(b) and 326 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The petitioner was one of the applicants in B.A.No.505/2007 along with accused Nos.2 and 3. This Court was not pleased to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Instead, he was directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 2.2.2007 and 5.2.2007 for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for regular bail considered by the Magistrate concerned. Without availing of the benefit of that order, the petitioner again approached this Court with the present application for anticipatory bail. 3. I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular B.A.1400/2007 2 bail. Accordingly if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of by the learned Magistrate preferably on the same day on which it is filed. The application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE mrcs
