BY ADV. SRI.C.S.MANILAL RESPONDENTS: ------------- THE STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY P.P. SRI. JAI GEORGE. THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R. BASANT, J. ------------------------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No. 2411 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of June, 2008 ORDER Though this petition is to quash the F.I.R. registered under Sec.379 of the IPC, at the end of his submissions, after detailed discussions at the Bar, the learned counsel for the petitioner only prays that there may be a direction to the learned Magistrate to consider the application for regular bail to be filed by the petitioner after his surrender before the Investigating Officer or the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously. 2. For that, no special or specific directions of this Court appear to be necessary. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in the decision reported in Alice George v. Deputy Superintendent of Police (2003 (1) KLT 339). Every court must follow the same. I have no reason to assume Crl.M.C. No. 2411 of 2008 -: 2 :- that the learned Magistrate would not consider the petitioner's application for regular bail on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously. 3. This Crl.M.C. is, in these circumstances, dismissed with the above observations. Sd/- (R. BASANT, JUDGE) Nan/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
