RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. No. 7146 of 2010 .......................................... Dated this the 18th day of November, 2010. ORDER Petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No. 914 of 2010 of Ottapalam Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 498(A). 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 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 29.11.2010 or on 30.11.2010 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. Dated this the 18th day of November, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
