JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.1271 of 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of May, 2010. ORDER Heard counsel for petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for respondents. 2. Petitioner is accused in C.C.No.121 of 2010 which is a split up case. As per Annexure-A8, as directed by the learned Magistrate respondent No.2 has directed petitioner to surrender his passport within fifteen days from the date of Annexure-A8, order. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that petitioner has already moved an application under Section 205 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, “the Code”) before the learned Magistrate seeking personal exemption and direction may be issued to the learned Magistrate to dispose of that application. I am inclined to give such a direction. Resultantly this petition is disposed of directing learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Payyannur to dispose of the petition if any preferred by the petitioner in C.C.No.121 of 2010, under Section 205 of the Code at the earliest in accordance with law and the facts and circumstances of the case.
