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 having jurisdiction and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned and file an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, he shall be released on bail on appropriate conditions since the charge has already been filed. This application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
