BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 01/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. NO. 1630 of 2009 .......................................... Dated: 1-4-2009 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 and 3 in Crime No. 1337 of 2008 of Mattancheri Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec. 420 I.P.C. 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 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 10-4-2009 and 14-4-2009 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 application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the Ist day of April, 2009. Sd/-V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani /true copy/
