Bail Application No.7804 of 2008
===============================
DATED: 25.03.2010
O R D E R
Petitioner who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.68/CR/07 of the CBCID,
Palakkad arising out of Crime No.431 of 2006 of the Nilambur Police Station
for an offence punishable under Sec.420 I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application.
3. Merely because A1 has been granted anticipatory bail on
medical grounds, it is no reason that a co-accused also should be granted
anticipatory bail. Three earlier applications for anticipatory bail by the
petitioner were dismissed by this Court. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in
a case of this nature. But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the
petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of
interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the
Magistrate having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender
before the Detective Inspector, CBCID Economic Wing III, Kozhikode on
06.04.10 or on 07.04.10 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of
incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter appear before
the Magistrate who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been
interrogated by the Police, shall consider and dispose of his application for
regular bail preferably on the same date on which it is filed.
This petition is disposed of as above.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
