The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With this direction, this application is disposed of. V.Ramkumar, Judge. ess 19/1
