RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3326 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 08-06-2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos.1,2,4 to 8 in Crime No.226 of 2007 of Vadakkancherry Police Station (Palakkad District) for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 506(ii) 326 and 308 read with Section 149 I.P.C., seek 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 petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have their application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 18.6.07 and 20-6-07 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners 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. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
