PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.K.SURESH THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ----------------------------------------- B.A.No. 566 of 2009 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd February, 2009 O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 406, 420 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is granted bail in almost all the cases now pending against her, except in Crime No.506/2008 of Trivandrum Medical College Police Station. Petitioner apprehends that petitioner will be again detained in prison on the basis of complaints filed by some other persons and the police may file petition for recording the arrest in that case also. Therefore, this petition is filed for a direction that petitioner may be released on bail in the event of her arrest in connection with any crime relating to the establishment, “Total 4 You”. 3. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that this petition is filed not with reference to any particular crime number and no crime number is mentioned in the petition. It is also submitted that no blanket order can be passed, anticipating registration of some or other crime BA.566/09 2 against accused and this petition is not maintainable in the light of the dictum laid down in the decision of the Supreme Court reported in Adri Dharan Das v. State of W.B. ( (2005) 4 SCC 303), it is submitted. It is laid down therein that a blanket order that the accused be released on bail whenever arrested for whichever offence whatsoever cannot be passed. 4. On hearing both sides, considering the facts and circumstances of this case, I am satisfied that a blanket order cannot be passed, anticipating possibility of registration of a crime against petitioner, even without knowing for what offence the crime will be registered etc. However, learned counsel for petitioner limited his prayer by seeking a direction to learned Magistrate that in case petitioner is arrested in any case, bail application filed by her may be disposed of as expeditiously as possible and without delay, taking into account the fact that petitioner is released on bail in all the cases except Crime No.506/2008. 5. I am confident that even without a direction, the learned Magistrate will dispose of any bail application, if any, BA.566/09 3 filed by petitioner without any delay, considering all the facts stated above. Therefore, no direction as such is issued, but petitioner is at liberty to seek appropriate directions from this Court in case there is any delay in disposal of bail application. With this observation, petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
