RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2767 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 15 .05.2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 2 and 3 in Crime No.165/07 of Thalassery Police Station for offences punishable under Secs.448, 427 and 380 I.P.C., 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 any day between 22-5-2007 and 24-05- 2007 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider and dispose of their application for bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
