CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................. Crl.M.C. No. 2224 of 2010 ....................................................... Dated: 22nd day of June, 2010 ORDER The petitioner who is the accused in M.P. No. 12391 of 2008 on the file of the J.F.C.M. II, Thrissur, for an offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, 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 file an application for regular bail within a period of two weeks from today. In case, the petitioner complies with the above condition, he shall be released on bail on appropriate conditions and in case the petitioner's application under Section 205 Cr.P.C. was already allowed earlier by the Magistrate, I see no reason why the Magistrate should insist upon the personal appearance of the petitioner unless it be at the time of pronouncement of the judgment or thereafter.
