PUSHPALATHA THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 26/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. NO. 7505 of 2009 .......................................... Dated: 26th March, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 to 7 of Crime No. 914 of 2009 of Konny Police Station, Pathanamthitta District for offences punishable under Sections 143, 148, 149, 452, 427 and 324 and 308 I.P.C. seek 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 petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have their application for bail considered by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on 7-4-2010 or 8-4-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter appear before the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of their application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 26th day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
