B.A.No.2840 of 2007 Dated this the 15th day of May 2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are the first and second accused in Crime No. 184/2007 of Panangadu Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 3,4 and 5 of Immoral Traffic and Prevention Act 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 applications for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 22.5.2007 and 24.5.2007 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 their applications for regular bail preferably on the same date on which such applications are filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. jsr B.A.No. 2 B.A.No. 3
