ORDER

Petitioner is an accused in Crime No.634 of 2015 of Peringome Police Station registered for offences punishable under Sections 4 and 5 of the Explosives Act.

2.

Prosecution case is that on 24.07.2015, Peringome Police received an information while on patrol duty and the ensued search, revealed stocking of seven gelatin sticks and twelve detonators in a locked house in the property of the petitioner.

3.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he is a businessman with no criminal antecedents. He helped the local people in forming a road. For that purpose, somebody must have kept detonators in his property.

5.

All these facts will have to be unearthed in a thorough investigation. I find no justification to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner in such offences. Therefore, the petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer within two weeks from today and submit themselves

BA No.5075/2015 for interrogation. The Investigating Officer shall produce them before the learned Magistrate having jurisdiction on the date of surrender itself. Thereafter, the petitioners are free to move for regular bail before the learned Magistrate. In that event, the learned Magistrate shall consider the application as expeditiously as possible on merits. The application is disposed of.

A. HARIPRASAD, JUDGE.
