ORDER
Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No. 1147 of 2010
of North Paravoor Police Station, Ernakulam District for offences
under the provisions of The Kerala Protection of River Banks and
Regulationof Removal of Sand Act, 2001, 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 7-10-
2010 or 8-10-2010 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.
Dated this the 27th day of September, 2010.
