The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner has used explosives with the granite quarry without a licence, on account of that, the defacto complainant has sustained loss. 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 and then to have his application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 27.3.2007 and 29.3.2007 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioner shall, thereafter, be produced on the same day before the concerned Magistrate, who shall release the petitioner on bail on appropriate conditions. The application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, mrcs JUDGE
