Perused the records 2. Petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.2/93 of Thrikkakara Police Station registered for an offence under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. The case was pending on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-I, Aluva as C.C.No.493/94 and as the petitioner absconded, the case was transferred to the register of long pending cases as L.P.No.29/99. It is much later on 15.3.2008 that the petitioner could be apprehended. 3. This is not fit case for grant of bail, as a case of 1993 is kept pending for such a long time solely for reason of the fact that the petitioner was absconding. 4. In the result, I dismiss this application for bail. K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE. dsn
