Petitioners who are the Chief Editor and Managing Editor of a

Malayalam fortnightly by name ‘Polygraph’, seek anticipatory bail on

the allegation that the Kollam East Police are at their heels at the

instance of one Sugathan.

2. Learned Public Prosecutor on instructions submitted that

the petitioners are accused 1 and 2 in Crime No.24/07 of Kollam Police

Station now registered for offences punishable under sections 294(b)

and 506(i) IPC, both of which are bailable offences. If so, invocation

of section 438 Cr.P.C. is misconceived.

This petition is closed without prejudice to the right of the

petitioner to seek regular bail from the Magistrate concerned.

V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
