The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the Civil Supplies Corporation has sustained huge loss on account of the non replacement of the medicines and that the case has been taken over by the CBCID, Ernakulam as 39/CR/07. 3. Considering the factual details furnished by the petitioner and the other circumstances of the case, even though I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail, 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 regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. 4. Accordingly the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 28.3.2007 B.A.1753/2007 2 and 30.3.2007 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating materials if any. The petitioner shall, thereafter, be produced on the same day before the Magistrate concerned, who shall release the petitioner on bail on appropriate conditions, including one obliging the petitioner to make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the police. The application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE mrcs
