RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 5074 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of March, 2010. O R D E R Petitioner who is the 5th accused in Crime No.140 of 2009 of Alappuzh North Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 452, 323, 324, 326 and 307 I.P.C., 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 05-04-2010 or 06-04- 2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear 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. Dated this the 24th day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
