RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3189 OF 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 31.5.2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 to 6 in Crime No.335 of 2007 of Kasaragod Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec.436 I.P.C. 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 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 any day between 6-6-07 and 8-6-07 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who 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 ani
