RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2278 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 13-04-2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. to 5 in Crime No. 133 of 2007 of Kanjar Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 294(b), 506(i), 353 read with Sec. 149 I.p.C. seek anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the petitioners had initially flouted the directions of the Intelligence Inspector of Squad No. II of the Department of Commercial Taxes, Thodupuzha and that they continued to threaten the officers of the Commercial Taxes Department. 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 Circle Inspector of Police Kanjar 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 Circle Inspector of Police, Kanjar on any day between 19-4-2007 and 21-04-2007 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioners shall B.A. No. 2278 of 2007 -:2:- thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which such application is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
