But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have their application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 25-3-2009 and 27-3- 2009 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate and the Magistrate shall grant bail to petitoiners. This petition is disposed of as above. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. mn.
