Bail Application No. 537 of 2010
----------------------------------
Dated this the 26th day of March, 2010.
O R D E R
Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 24 of 2010 of
Neyyattinkara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections
294(b), 323, 324 and 332 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 07-04-2010 or 08-04-
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 26th day of March, 2010.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
