Eventhough I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer and then have his regular bail application disposed of by the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly, Bail Application No.232 of 2007 -:2:- the petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 19-01-2007 and 23-01-2007 for the purpose of interrogation. Thereafter the petitioner shall be produced before the Magistrate who is having jurisdiction, on the same day. The Magistrate shall release the petitioner on bail on appropriate conditions, in case, an application for regular bail is filed before the Magistrate. This will be without prejudice to the right of the investigating officer to seek police custody of the petitioner if such a course is found necessary. This petition is disposed of accordingly.
