Bail Application No. 1918/2007
-----------------------------
Dated this 29th day of March, 2007
O R D E R
The petitioner, who is the first accused in Crime
No.16/2007 of Dharmadam Police Station for offences
punishable under Section 5 of the Explosive Substances Act,
1908, and 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application.
3. The case of the prosecution is that on 26.1.2007 at
about 12 noon, the Sub Inspector of Police, Dharmadam, and his
police party, on prior information, recovered one country bomb
and two saker knives from the unfinished house of one
Pradeepan. Subsequent investigation has revealed that the
petitioner was one of the persons who had secreted the arms in
the said place and that the petitioner is also involved in similar
other crimes involving similar offence.
4. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this
nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not
surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular
bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the
B.A.1918/2007
2
Magistrate having jurisdiction and files and application for
regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be
considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on which
it is filed.
The application is disposed of as above.
V.RAMKUMAR,
JUDGE
