The court rejected an application for anticipatory bail in a cheating case but permitted the petitioner to surrender for interrogation before the Investigating Officer. Regular bail was to be sought after interrogation via a Magistrate upon execution of a bond.
Surrender for interrogation permitted; regular bail via Magistrate later subject to bond.
