The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the petitioner had made good her escape on seeing the Excise party. 3. It is too early to accept the petitioner's contention that she has been falsely implicated in the case. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of Bail A.No.1036 of 2007 -:2:- preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With the above observation this application is dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
