Having regard to the fact that the police had registered a counter case also as crime No.83/2006 and the other facts and circumstances of the case, even though I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, 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 any day between 19-4-2007 and 21-04-2007 for the purpose of interrogation. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who shall release them on bail on appropriate conditions. The application is disposed of as above.
