RAMKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = B.A. No.1466 of 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 27.03.2009 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.335 of 2009 of Angamaly Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 409, 420 read with 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 2.04.2009 and 4.04.2009 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. 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. Dated this the 27th day of March, 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
