BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. No.7512 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 23.11.2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.498/2010 of Malayinkeezhu Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 452,324 and 363 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 3.12.2010 or on 4.12.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has 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 23 rd day of November, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
