RAMKUMAR, J. =============================== Bail Application No. 33380 of 2008 =============================== DATED: 22.05.2008 O R D E R Petitioners, who are the accused Nos. 1 to 3 in Crime No.68/2008 of Beypore Police Station for offences punishable under Secs.143,147,148,323, 323, 324,341 and 308 read with Section 149 I.P.C. , 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 any day between 28.5.08 and 30.05.08 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider and dispose of their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
