BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2015 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 04-04-2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 420 of 2006 of Hosdurg Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 323 and 326 I.P.C. seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the petitioner is the accused in nine other crimes. 3. The case of the prosecution is that at about 1 p.m. on 28-9-2006, the petitioner hit the de facto complainant on his elbow and waved a knife towards him causing fracture of his metacarpal and other injuries. 4. 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 interrogation and then to have his application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer on any day between 10-04-2007 and 12-04- 2007 for the purpose of interrogation. Thereafter the petitioner shall be produced on the same day before the Magistrate having jurisdiction. The Magistrate shall consider and dispose of the application, if any, filed by the petitioner for regular bail preferably on the same day on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
