Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the petitioner is an accused in three other crimes of Munambam and Vadakkekara Police Stations. 3. Eventhough anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail ordered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 19-4-2007 and 21-04-2007 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall, thereafter, be produced on the same day before the Magistrate, who shall release him on bail on appropriate conditions. This petition is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
