BAIL APPLICATION NO. 274 OF 2007

DATED THIS THE 18th DAY OF JANUARY, 2007
O R D E R
Petitioners who are accused Nos.3, 6 and 1 respectively in
Crime No.288/06 of Kumbla Police Station for offences
punishable under sections 420 and 468 read with section 149
IPC, seek anticipatory bail.
2. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application
submitting, inter alia, that this is a case in which documents were
fabricated to make it appear that they were genuine documents.
Even though I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the
petitioners, I am inclined to give the petitioners an opportunity
to surrender before the Investigating Officer for custodial
interrogation and thereafter to have their regular application
disposed of by the Magistrate concerned expeditiously.
3. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to report
before the Investigating Officer on any day between 19.1.2007
and 23.1.2007 for the purpose of custodial interrogation and
recovery of incriminating documents, if any. The petitioners shall
thereafter be produced before the Magistrate having jurisdiction
BA.274/07
Page numbers
on the same day and the Magistrate shall consider and dispose of
the application for regular bail, if any, filed by the petitioners
preferably on the same date on which it is filed.
With this direction, this petition is disposed of.
