BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.P.N.SUKUMARAN THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` B.A. No. 2012 OF 2007 B ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2007 O R D E R Petitioners, who are accused Nos.3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Crime No.347/05 of Kollam West Police Station for offences punishable under sections 406, 408, 420, 468 and 120B IPC, seek anticipatory bail. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the petitioners, who were employees of the Kollam Dairy of Milma, had made false entries of the quantity of milk received in that unit and had caused a loss of Rs.6,14,740/- to the Society. 3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. I am, however, inclined to permit the petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for interrogation and then to have their application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer either on any day between 9.4.2007 and 11.4.2007 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioners shall, thereafter, be produced on the same day before the concerned Magistrate, who shall release them on bail on appropriate conditions. This application is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
