RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... Bail Application No. 5538 of 2010 .......................................... Dated: 26-10-2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 2970 of 2010 of Central Police Station, Ernakulam for an offence punishable under Sec. 498 - A 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 11-11-2010 or 12-11- 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. This petition is disposed of as above. 26th October, 2010 V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani/
