Having regard to the allegations including one that the petitioner had inflicted fracture on the nasal bone of his wife, Ramlabi, the defacto complainant, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for interrogation and then to have his application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. 4.
