Bail Application No. 1391/2007
-----------------------------
Dated this 8th day of March, 2007
O R D E R
The petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 to 5 in
Crime No.487/2006 of Cherpu Police Station for offences
punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 452, 324, 294(b),
506(i), 427 and 308 IPC read with Section 149 IPC and also
under Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, seek anticipatory bail.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application.
3. The occurrence took place at 8.30 p.m on
11.12.2006 during which two persons sustained injuries
consequent on the attack on them by seven named accused
persons and 14 identifiable persons allegedly armed with
deadly weapons like sword, cricket stumps, iron rods etc.
4. 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 and
then to have their applications for regular bail ordered by
the Magistrate concerned. Accordingly, the petitioners are
B.A.1391/2007
2
directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer on any
day between 14.3.2007 and 16.3.2007 for the purpose of
interrogation and recovery of incriminating materials, if any.
Thereafter, the petitioners shall be produced before the
Magistrate having jurisdiction, on the same day. The
Magistrate shall consider and dispose of the applications, if
any, filed by the petitioners for regular bail preferably on the
same day on which the applications are filed.
The application is disposed of as above.
