Dated this the 13th day of December, 2010
O R D E R
In this Petition filed under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. the petitioner,
who is the third accused in Crime No.1016/2010 of
Sasthamcotta Police Station for offences punishable under
Sections 323, 324, 427, 308 and 506(i) read with Section 34
I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor, on instructions,
submitted that after the conclusion of investigation a final
report has already been filed before the trial Court. If so, it is
not desirable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner since
he cannot be directed to appear before the Investigating Officer
after the conclusion of investigation and after the matter is in
the seizin of the Court. The appropriate order in such
circumstances can only be one to direct the petitioner to
surrender before the trial Court and seek regular bail.
Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the
trial Court and apply for regular bail within two weeks from
B.A.No.8069/2010 2
today. In case the petitioner complies with the above
direction, the trial Court shall consider and dispose of the
application for bail on merits preferably on the same date on
which it is filed, notwithstanding the non bailable warrants, if
any, pending against the petitioner.
This application is disposed of as above.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
