The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. The case of the prosecution is that on 28.11.2006 at about 5.25 PM accused 1 and 2 were found naked in the room inside the Parlour of which the 3rd accused (petitioner herein) is the licencee and were seen indulging in sexual activities in a completely nude position. The first accused was the customer and the second accused is a lady ostensibly employed as a Therapist. 4. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned and files an application for regular bail, within 10 days from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With this direction, this petition is disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dsn
