RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3374 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 08-06-2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No. 171 of 2007 of Mannuthy Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 452, 326 and 427 read with Sec. 34 I.P.C. 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 any day between 18.6.07 and 20-6-07 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioner 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
