JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3135 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 29.5.2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.279 of 2007 of Panangad Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec.379 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 any day between 5-06-2007 and 7-06-07 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who 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 ani
