RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No. 361 OF 2008 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of February, 2008 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in CC No.73 of 2001(LP No. 44 of 2004) on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court II, Kochi for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147,148, 447 & 427 read with Section 149 IPC, seeks a disposal of the Bail Application by the Magistrate on the date of his surrender itself. Admittedly, non bailable warrant of arrest is pending against the petitioner. The circumstances under which such warrant came to be issued are not discernible to this Court. Hence the only course of action open to the petitioner is to surrender before the Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the date on which it is filed, after examining the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non-appearance.
