Bail Application No.7582 of 2010
------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 29th day of November, 2010
ORDER
The petitioners, who are accused Nos.5 & 6 in Crime
No.1049 of 2010 of Pala Police Station for offences punishable
under Sections 420 & 294(A) read with Section 34 I.P.C. and
Section 7(iii) of Lottery Regulation Act, 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
09/12/2010 or on 10/12/2010 for the purpose of interrogation
and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioners shall
thereafter be produced before the Magistrate who on being
satisfied that the petitioners have been interrogated by the police
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.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
