THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.1219 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner-accused seeking to grant anticipatory bail in connection with C.C.No.205 of 2008 on the file of the XIV Additional Judge-cum-XVIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, for the offence punishable under Sections 138 and 142 N.I. Act. 2. Heard. 3. By the orders dated 30.03.2009 passed by the XVIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, in Crl.M.P.No.792 of 2009 in C.C.No.205 of 2008, the petitioner herein was directed to pay costs of Rs.300/- to the complainant on or before 16.04.2009 and was also directed to furnish personal bond for Rs.5,000/-. But, the petitioner failed to comply with said order. Consequently, a non-bailable warrant was issued against him. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that as the petitioner was facing trial in other offences in the same Court premises and as there was likelihood of his arrest in that case, he could not attend the Court. 5. Considering these circumstances, it is directed that the petitioner shall surrender before the XVIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderbad, within a period of one week from today and file a petition for recalling the non-bailable warrant, upon which, the non- bailable warrant issued against the petitioner shall be recalled by the XVIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, after taking appropriate bonds for his future appearance and on his payment of costs of Rs.10,000/- to the complainant as while disposing of Crl.M.P.No.792 of 2009, the Court below has imposed costs of Rs.300/- on 30.03.2009 i.e. almost an year back and the petitioner did not comply with the said condition. It is further directed that the petitioner shall not be arrested for a period of one week from today. Accordingly, the criminal petition is allowed. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J.
