RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No. 3511 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 23-05-2008 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in C.C. No. 330 of 1997 on the file of the J.F.C.M. II, Kollam for an offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and whose case is now pending before the same Court as L.P. No. 125 of 1998, seeks a direction to the said Magistrate to release the petitioner on bail on the date of her 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 application 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 her and after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for her previous non- appearance. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani
