RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2314 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 25-05-2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 7 to 9 in Crime No. 52 of 2007 of Ezhukone Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 427, 353, 308 and 296 read with Section 149 I.P.C. and Sec. 27 of the Arms Act, 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 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 30-5-2007 and 01-06- 2007 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 release them on bail on appropriate conditions. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
