BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.5756 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 15th day of November, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.510 of 2010 of Payyannur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 25(A)(1b) 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 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 26/11/2010 or on 27/11/2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police 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 skj
