BY ADV. SRI.VARGHESE C.KURIAKOSE SRI.PRAVEEN K. JOY RESPONDENTS: COMPLAINANT ------------------------ STATE OF KERALA, REP. BY SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, NEDUPUZHA POLICE STATION. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- Bail Application No. 1845/2007 ----------------------------- Dated this 29th day of March, 2007 O R D E R The petitioner, a lady, who is the wife of Vidyadharan, (A1), who was conducting a money lending business and who is the second accused in Crime No.317/2006 of Nedupuzha Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 IPC read with section 34 IPC, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting that even though the money lending business was in the name of the petitioner's husband who is absconding, the petitioner was also transacting business by receiving amounts etc. 3. Even though anticipatory bail cannot granted in a case of this nature, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for interrogation and then to have her application for regular bail ordered by the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer either on 3.4.2007 or on 4.4.2007 for the purpose of interrogation. She shall thereafter, be produced on the same day before the Magistrate having jurisdiction, who shall release the petitioner on bail on B.A.1845/2007 2 appropriate conditions including one ensuring that she will not commit any offence while on bail and she will make herself available for interrogation as and when required by the police. The application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE mrcs
