CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- Crl.M.C.No.4222 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of November 2008 O R D E R The petitioner against whom a crime has been registered alleging the offence punishable under Section 8 of the Kerala Abkari Act; whose application for anticipatory bail already stands rejected; who has not appeared before the investigating officer or the learned Magistrate so far and who apprehends imminent arrest has instead of challenging the order refusing anticipatory bail choosing to come before this court with a prayer that directions under Section 482 Cr.P.C may be issued to the learned Magistrate to comply with the directions in Alice George vs.Deputy Superintendent of Police [2003(1)KLT 339] and to consider his application for bail to be filed by him when he surrenders before the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously - on the date of surrender itself. 2. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in Alice George (Supra). It is not necessary for this court in every subsequent case to issue directions to the Crl.M.C.No.4222/08 2 Magistracy to follow the dictum in Alice George (Supra). Every court is bound to do the same. I have no reason to assume that the same shall not be done. If the directions are not complied with the avenues of challenge/complaint are available for the petitioner. 3. In the result, this petition is dismissed subject to the above specific observations. Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner for production before the learned Magistrate. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) jsr Crl.M.C.No.4222/08 3 Crl.M.C.No.4222/08 4 R.BASANT, J.
