RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. No.5906 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 09.11.2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in O.R.No.14/2010 of Paruthipally Forest Range, Kollam for offences punishable under Sections 2,27 i(4) (iii), 39, 40, 52 and 69 of the Kerala Forest Act, seeks 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 petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 22.11.2010 or on 23.11.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of his 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
