ORDER Petitioner, who is the third accused in Crime No.366 of 2006 of Nadakkavu Police Station, Kozhikode for an offence punishable under Section 379 read with Section 34 I.P.C. for having allegedly committed theft of a generator from a Homeo Clinic some time in May, 2006, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Since the co-accused in the case was found involved in another crime, in order to avoid the antecedents, if any, of the petitioner not coming to light, I am of the view that he should surrender before the Investigating Officer for interrogation and thereafter his application for regular bail should be directed to be considered by the Magistrate concerned expeditiously. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 19.1.2007 and 23.1.2007 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate having jurisdiction on the same date. The Magistrate shall BA 283/07 -: 2 :- consider and dispose of the bail application, if any, filed by the petitioner preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With this direction, this application is disposed of. V.Ramkumar, Judge. ess 18/1
