B.A.NO.766 of 2010 .......................................... Dated:31st March, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No. 21 of 2010 of Nallalam Police Station for offences punishable under Section 379 r/w Section 34 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 his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on 16.04.2010 or 17.04.2010 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 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 31st day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE bkn/-
