RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 1381 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 8th March , 2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 141 of 2007 of Kottarakkara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 448, 294 (b) and 326 I.P.C. , seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that injuries including fracture were sustained on the hand of the de facto complainant, a Carpenter, by hitting him with a reaper. 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 and then to have his application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 14-03-2007 and 16-3-.2007 for the purpose of custodial interrogation. Thereafter the petitioner shall be produced on the same day before the Magistrate having jurisdiction, day who shall release the petitioner on bail on appropriate conditions. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
