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 interrogation and then to have his application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 27.3.2007 and 29.3.2007 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioner shall, thereafter, be produced on the same day before the concerned Magistrate, who shall release him on bail on appropriate conditions. This application is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
