After hearing both sides, I think this is not a fit case, in which orders u/s.482 BNSS can be passed. At this stage the counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner will surrender before the Investigating Officer. The counsel also submitted that there may be a direction to produce the petitioner after interrogation before the jurisdictional court and there may be a direction to the jurisdictional court to consider the bail application on the date of production of the petitioner. I think that prayer can be allowed. 5. Considering the submission of the counsel for the petitioner, this bail application is disposed of with the following directions. 1) The petitioner will surrender before the Investigating Officer within two weeks from today. 2) If the petitioner surrenders before the Investigating Officer as directed above, the Investigating Officer is free to interrogate the petitioner. If arrest is recorded, the petitioner shall be produced before the jurisdictional court on the date of surrender itself. 2025:KER:30806 BAIL APPL.

If such a bail application is filed with advance copy to the prosecutor concerned, the jurisdictional court will consider that bail application in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders in it preferably on the date of filing of the same itself. 4) The Investigating Officer is free to file custody application, if necessary, at the time of producing the petitioner and if such application is filed, the jurisdictional court is free to pass appropriate orders in it also.
