ORDER
Petitioner who is the 5th accused in Crime No.20 of 2006 of
Gandhinagar Police Station, Kottayam for offences punishable
under Sections 143,147,341 and 353 read with 141 IPC and whose
case is now pending before the J.F.C.M, Ettumanoor as C.C.
No.99/2010 seeks a direction to the said Magistrate to release the
petitioner on bail on the date of his surrender itself.
2. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending
against the petitioner. The circumstances under which those non-
bailable warrants of arrest came to be issued against the petitioner
are not discernible to this Court. It is only proper that the
petitioner surrenders before the J.F.C.M. and seeks regular bail.
Accordingly, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of permitting the
petitioner to surrender before the learned Magistrate and file an
application for regular bail within a period of two weeks from
today. In case, the petitioner complies with the above condition,
his bail application shall be considered and disposed of on merits
preferably on the same date on which it is filed notwithstanding the
pendency of any non-bailable warrants, if any, against him and
after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his
previous non-appearance and also after considering the fact that
the co-accused in the case have been acquitted after trial.
Dated this the 14th day of June, 2010
V. RAMKUMAR,
(JUDGE)
