RAMKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bail Application NO.7716 OF 2006 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DATED: 10-01-2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 61 of 2006 of the Venjaramoodu Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec. 366 A I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Petitioner was figuring as the lover of the 16 year old girl. The girl was missing since 4-10-2006 and was subsequently traced out along with the petitioner on 12-10-2006 . The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner and the alleged victim had been in ardent love and the petitioner even now proposes to marry the girl. 4. Whatever may be the present intention of the petitioner, anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. However, I am inclined to permit the petitioner an opportunity to surrender before the investigating officer for interrogation and then to have his regular bail application disposed of. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating officer any day between 11-1-1007 and 16-1-2007 for the purpose of interrogation. Bail Application NO.7716 OF 2006 -:2:- The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate having jurisdiction, on the same day. The Magistrate shall consider and dispose of the application, if any, for regular bail filed by the petitioner preferably on the same day on which it is filed. With this observation, this application is disposed of. Sd/- V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani. /true copy/ P.A. to Judge. Bail Application NO.7716 OF 2006 -:3:-
