The petitioner had moved the Sessions Court, Thrissur under section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking anticipatory bail. That court was not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. That court, however, directed the petitioner to surrender before the Magistrate concerned within one month and then apply for regular bail. 3. Even though the petitioner seeks anticipatory bail, the learned counsel finally made a limited request to have his application for regular bail considered on the same day by the Magistrate. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the J.F.C.M., Kunnamkulam and files an application for regular bail, within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the same date on which it is filed. This application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dsn1
