BREEZE THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Crl.M.C. No. 881 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 03-03-2008 ORDER Petitioner who is the 4th accused in Crime No. 983 of 1993 of City Traffic Police, Kozhikoee for offences punishable under Sections 279 and 337 I.P.C.and whose case is now pending before the J.F.C.M. -V, Kozhikode as L. P. C. 1 of 1999, 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. Considering the fact that it is a very old case, the Magistrate shall take an earnest endeavour to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible. Sd/-V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) /true copy/
