RAMKUMAR, J. =============================== Bail Application No.4263 of 2010 =============================== DATED: 02.08.2010 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in O.R.No.5/2009 of Karikkulam Forest Station in Ranny Forest Division for offences punishable under Secs.2(16), 39(1)(a) and (b) and 51 of Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972., 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 12.08.10 or on 13.08.10 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear 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
