RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. No.6019 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 04.10.2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 2nd accused in Crime No.548/2010 of Bakel Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 323,324,341 and 392 read with 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 18.10.2010 or on 19.10.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced 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. In case there is no incriminating material against the petitioner, the Investigating Officer shall submit a report to that effect before the Magistrate and release the petitioner on bail. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
