No. 1226 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 19-03-2008 ORDER Petitioners who are the accused in C.C. No. 1944 of 2006 on the file of the Judl. First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kollam for offences punishable under Sections 418, 420 and 406 read with Sec. 34 I.P.C. seek a direction to the said Magistrate to release the petitioners on bail on the date of their surrender itself. 2. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioners. The circumstances under which those non- bailable warrants of arrest came to be issued against the petitioners are not discernible to this Court. It is only proper that the petitioners surrender before the J.F.C.M. and seek regular bail. Accordingly, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of permitting the petitioners to surrender before the learned Magistrate and file an application for regular bail within a period of two weeks from today. In case, the petitioners comply with the above condition, their 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 them and after considering the explanation offered by the petitioners for their previous non-appearance. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani ani.
