Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on 27/9/2010 or on 28/9/2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who Bail Appln.No.5748/2010 : 2 : on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed.
