SIVAKUMAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ......................................... B.A. NO. 1311 of 2009 .......................................... Dated: 24-03-2009 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 2,3,4 and 5 in Crime No. 320 of 2008 on the file of Manjeshwaram Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 323, 324, 452, 506(ii), 427 and 308 read with Sec. 149 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 any day between 28-3-2009 and 31-3-2009 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Magistrate who 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. Dated this the 24th day of March 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ani.
