RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 7229 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of March, 2010. O R D E R Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No.601 of 2009 of Venjarammoodu Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 419 and 420 I.P.C. and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, 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 petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 07-04-2010 or 08-04- 2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of his application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 25th day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
