RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 961 of 2010 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of March, 2010. O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 to 4 in Crime No.20 of 2010 of Chavara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 324 and 341 r/w Section 149 I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act, seek 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 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 12-04-2010 or 13- 04-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of their applications for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 30th day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. -:2:- rv
