Petitioner is the 2nd accused in Crime No. 738/2011 of Valiyathura Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 465, 468 and 471 read with 34 I.P.C and Section 12(1)(a)(b) of Indian Passport Act, 1967. Apprehending arrest, detention and torture at the hands of the Investigating Officer, he moved a petition as Crl.M.C.No.1775/2011 before the Sessions Judge, Thiruvananthapuram, who, by Annexure-I order dismissed the same. Now seeking the same relief, this petition is filed. 2. Having heard either side and perusing the records, I find that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required. 3. In the result, this petition is disposed of with direction to the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer. The Investigating Officer, after interrogation, shall produce the petitioner before the Magistrate concerned, so as B.A.No.8850/2011 2 to enable him to apply for regular bail, which the Magistrate shall dispose of on merits, as far as possible, on the same day, provided due notice is given to the Assistant Public Prosecutor.
