CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- Crl.M.C.No.4721 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of December 2008 O R D E R Petitioner, the third accused, faces indictment in a prosecution for offences punishable inter alia under Section 324 read with 149 I.P.C. All offences are bailable offences. Cognizance was taken as early as in 2003 as can be seen from the number assigned to the case now i.e. C.C.No.801/03. The petitioner was working abroad. She had entered appearance and was enlarged on bail earlier, it is submitted. But later consequent to her non-appearance, coercive processes have been issued against the petitioner. Such processes are chasing the petitioner. The petitioner apprehends imminent arrest. 2. The petitioner has now come to this court with the prayer that directions under Section 482 Cr.P.C may be issued to the learned Magistrate to comply with the directions in Alice George vs.Deputy Superintendent of Police [2003(1)KLT 339] and to consider her application for bail to be filed by her when she surrenders before the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously - on the date of surrender itself. Crl.M.C.No.4721/08 2 3. 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 the same shall not be done. If the directions are not complied with the avenues of challenge/complaint are available for the petitioner. 4. In the result, this petition is dismissed subject to the above specific observations. 5. Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner for production before the learned Magistrate. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) jsr Crl.M.C.No.4721/08 3 Crl.M.C.No.4721/08 4 R.BASANT, J.
