Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned and files an application for regular bail, within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of on merits, preferably on the same date on which it is filed, after taking into account the decision of this court reported in Sukumari Vs. State of Kerala [2001 (1) KLT 22] and also after considering the medical reports, if any, produced by the petitioner. This application is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
