RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 6372 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2010. O R D E R Petitioner who is the 2nd accused in Crime No.144 of 2009 of Irikkur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 448, 324, 308 and 324 r/w Section 149 I.P.C., seeks 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 petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 26.03.2010 or 27.03.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall consider and dispose of his application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
