No.873 of 2010 = = = = = = = = = = = Dated: 21st day of May, 2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the second accused in Crime No. 31/96 of Vattiyoorkavu Police Station for an offence punishable under Sections 6(1) (b) of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and whose case is now pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Nedumangad as C.C No.88 of 2008 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 Crl.M.C. No.873 of 2010 2 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 and also after considering the fact that the co- accused in the case have been acquitted after trial in C.C.No.444/2003. Dated this the 21st day of May, 2010 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) dmb
