STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------- B. A. No.797 of 2007 ----------------------------------------- DATED: FEBRUARY 12th, 2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the Ist accused in Crime No.4/2006 of Thrikkakkara Police Station for an offence punishable under sec.394 IPC, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The case of the prosecution is that on 2.1.2006 at about 2.45 p.m. the petitioners and two others coming on a motorbike blocked the car in which the de facto complainant was travelling. After opening the door of the car the de facto complainant was pulled out and intimidated by brandishing a sword. The complainant was thereafter pulled out of the car and the accused persons decamped the scene after committing theft of a bag containing Rs.8000/- and toys worth Rs.500/-. 3. Apart from the highway robbery committed in a daring manner it is also alleged that the petitioner is involved in other similar cases as well. I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail in a case of Bail A.No.797 of 2007 -:2:- this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the concerned magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the magistrate and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of on merits preferably on the same day on which it is filed. With the above observation this application is disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
