Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 24/9/2010 or 25/9/2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced Bail Appln.No.5308/2010 : 2 : before the Magistrate concerned and file an application for regular bail. On being convinced that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police, the Magistrate shall preferably on the same date on which the application is filed, release the petitioner on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate and subject to the following conditions:- 1.
