Dated: 10-11-2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime RC. 3(A)/ 2010/CBI/KER for an offence punishable under Section 13 (1) (3) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Heard both sides. Sri. M.V.S. Namboothiri, the learned Standing Counsel for the C.B.I. opposed the application. 3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature.

Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer at 10 a.m. on 25-11-2010 or 26-11- 2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced before the Special Court who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of his application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 10th day of November, 2010. Sd/-V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani/ /true copy P.S. to Judge
