PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S. BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. No.7452 of 2010 .......................................... Dated this the 1st day of December, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.3 to 9, 12, 13 and 15 in Crime No.2076/2009 of E.T. North Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with Section 34 IPC, seek 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 13.12.2010 or on 14.12.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police 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. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ln
