RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 1022 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of February, 2009. O R D E R Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No. 164 of 2009 of Chavakkad Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 324, 326 and 427 r/w 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 05.03.2009 and 06.03.2009 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 applications for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 26th day of February, 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. -:2:- rv
