Bail Application No. 6959 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 8th November, 2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 1050 of 2010 of Ettumanoor Police Station, Kottayam District for offences punishable under Sections 324, 326 and 294 (b), 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 22-11-2010 or 23-11-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police 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, 8th November, 2010 V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani/
