RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 1086 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009. O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 17 of 2009 of Vakathanam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections498 (A) I.P.C., 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 any day between 16.03.2009 and 18.03.2009 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall release the petitioner on bail. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
