V.RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------- Bail Appl.No.2336 of 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of June, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are the accused 1 to 4 in Crime No. 345 of 2010 of Neyyattinkara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 294(b), 34 of I.P.C. and Section 27 of Arms Act, 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 9.06.2010 or on 10.06.10 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the Police, shall consider and dispose of their B.A.No.2336/2010 : 2 : application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
