BASANT, J. ------------------------------------------------- CRL.M.C.NO. 71 OF 2007 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of January, 2007 ORDER The petitioner was granted anticipatory bail subject to conditions by another Bench of this Court as per the order dated 28/11/2006. The petitioner has not complied with the specific directions issued in the said order and has come to this Court on 9/1/07 with a prayer for extension of time. 2. I am not persuaded to agree that there are sufficient reasons for granting extension of time. However, I make it clear that if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Magistrate and applies for bail after giving sufficient prior notice to the Prosecutor in charge of the case, the learned Magistrate must proceed to pass appropriate orders on merits and expeditiously - on the date of surrender itself unless there are compelling reasons.
