I am not persuaded to agree that any special or specific directions need be issued. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in Alice George (Supra). It is for the petitioner to surrender before the learned Magistrate and apply for bail after giving sufficient prior notice to the Prosecutor in Crl.M.C.No.3731/08 2 charge of the case. Considering the objections, if any, of the Prosecutor, appropriate decision will have to be taken by the learned Magistrate. I am not persuaded to issue any further or specific directions. 3. This Crl.M.C is accordingly dismissed with the above observations. Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner.
