RESPONDENT/ COMPLAINANT: --------------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR. AMJAD ALI. THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. ------------------------------------------ CRL.M.C.NO. 1745 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated 4th June 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in crime 242/2002 of S.Paravoor police station which was taken cognizance by the Munsiff-Magistrate, Paravoor as C.C.612/2003. When the petitioner absconded, case was included in L.P register as L.P.204/2007. This petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for a direction to the Magistrate to consider the bail application on the date of his surrender. Offences alleged are under Sections 279, 337, 338 and 304(A) of Indian Penal Code. When an absconding accused surrenders before the Magistrate, Magistrate is expected to pass orders in the bail application without delay. In any event, a direction cannot be issued to the Magistrate to grant him bail. I find no reason to believe the representation that without a direction the Magistrate will not pass orders in the bail application on the date of surrender. Hence no direction is warranted. Petition is dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
