The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. The case of the prosecution is that at about 3.00 a.m on 21.3.2007, the accused persons including the petitioner armed with weapons like iron rod etc, criminally trespassed into the house of the defacto complainant and assaulted him resulting in his sustaining injuries. 4. Having regard to the contention of the petitioner that he is 18 years old and second year student of ITC, Chavara, even though I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for interrogation and then to have his application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. B.A.1946/2007 2 5. Accordingly the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer either on 4.4.2007 or on 7.4.2007 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating materials if any. The petitioner shall, thereafter, be produced on the same day before the Magistrate having jurisdiction, who shall release the petitioner on bail on appropriate conditions, including one ensuring that he will not commit any offence while on bail.
