RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 7306 of 2009 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of April, 2010. O R D E R Petitioner who is the 1st accused in Crime No.2086 of 2009 of Ernakulam Town North Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 r/w Section 34 I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. 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 the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on 16-04-2010 or 17-04- 2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate 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 6th day of April, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
