SALIM THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. NO. 6667 of 2009 .......................................... Dated: 23rd March, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No. 1448 of 2009 of Kochi Cusba Police Station, Ernakulam for offences punishable under Sections 341, 326, 427 read with Sec. 34 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 26-3-2010 or 27-3-2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear 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. Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani
