CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.2678 of 2010 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of July, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in S.C. No.141 of 2008 on the file of the Additional Sessions Judge, Thrissur for an offence punishable under Section 8(1) and (2) of the Abkari Act, seeks a direction to the said Judge 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 Additional Sessions Judge, Thrissur and seeks regular bail. Accordingly, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of permitting the petitioner to surrender before the learned Judge and file an application for regular bail within a period of two Crl.M.C.No.2678/2010 : 2 : weeks from today. In case, the petitioner complies with the above condition, his bail application shall be considered and disposed of on merits preferably on the same date on which it is filed notwithstanding the pendency of any non-bailable warrants against him. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
