RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2660 of 2008 ---------------------------------- DATED: 21-05-2008 O R D E R Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No. 219 of 2008 of Punalur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 323, 324, 326 and 506 (1) read with Sec. 34 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 petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 27-5- 2008 and 29-05-2008 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 regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
