BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.GIKKU JACOB THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.660 of 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated, this the 13th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT This petition is filed to give a direction to the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chavakkad to release the petitioners on bail on the same day of surrender before the court itself in connection with Crime No.789/2008 of Vadanapilly Police Station. A perusal of the records produced before me would reveal that they have moved an application earlier for anticipatory bail which was dismissed by this Court and there was a direction to surrender before the investigating officer without any delay and co-operate with the investigation. The said order was passed on 14.1.2009 and till this date they have not complied with the directions of the court. Now they want consideration of their bail application in case of surrender on that day itself. It will be sufficient if a direction is given to the Magistrate to consider the bail application when it is moved as expeditiously as possible after complying with all the legal formalities. Crl.M.C.No.660 of 2009 2 With this direction the Criminal Miscellaneous Case is disposed of. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vns
