Crl.M.C.Nos.3759 & 3760 of 2008
----------------------------------------
Dated this the 7th day of October 2008
O R D E R
The petitioner who faces indictment in two different crimes
registered at the same police station alleging offences
punishable under the Copy Rights Act and who apprehends
arrest in those crimes has come to this court with these petitions
under Section 482 Cr.P.C. He has not sought anticipatory bail.
The learned counsel for the petitioner prays that the petitioner
shall be satisfied if there is a direction to consider his
applications for bail to be filed by him after he surrenders before
the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and
expeditiously – in accordance with the stipulations in Alice
George vs.Deputy Superintendent of Police [2003(1)KLT
339].
2. Sufficient general directions have already been
issued in Alice George (Supra). It is not necessary for this
court in every subsequent case to issue directions to the
Magistracy to follow the dictum in Alice George (Supra). Every
court is bound to do the same. I have no reason to assume that
Crl.M.C.No.3759/08 2
the same shall not be done. If the directions are not complied
with the avenues of challenge/complaint are available for the
petitioner.
3. In the result, these petitions are dismissed subject to
the above specific observations.
Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the
petitioner for production before the learned Magistrate.
(R.BASANT, JUDGE)
