PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.M.NAZAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ====================== B.A. No.7126 of 2009 ====================== Dated: 23.03.2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 to 7 in Crime No. 788 of 2009 of Kasaragod Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143,147,148,324,326 and 452 read with 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 26-3-2010 or on 27-3-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the Police, shall consider and dispose of their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
