RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2062 of 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED: 10-04-2007 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 3 and 7 in Crime No. 286 of 2006 of Sakthikulangara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 294 (b) and 307 read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. seek anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. The case of the prosecution is that at about 9.45 p.m. on 20-08-2006 the petitioners along with others armed with deadly weapons like sword etc. attacked the de facto complainant resulting in his sustaining serious injuries including 5 incised injuries on his hand. 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 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 18-4-2007 and 20-04-2007 for the purpose of custodial interrogation and recovery of incriminating materials, if any. Thereafter the Bail Application No. 2062/07 -:2:- petitioner shall be produced before the Magistrate having jurisdiction on the same day . 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.
