ORDER
Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.342/CR/OCW/TVPM of CBCID Head Quarters, Thiruvananthapuram for offences punishable under Sections
468,403 and 420 I.P.C., seeks 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 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 investigating officer on 24.9.2010 or on
25.09.2010 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of
incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be
produced 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
