THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs. V.RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------------------ Bail Application No.4228 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of August, 2010 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos.1, 2, 4 & 5 in Crime No.302/2010 of Kannur City Police Station for offences punishable under Secs.332, 308 & 508(ii) read with Section 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 20-08-2010 or on 21-08-2010 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. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
