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 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 Crl.M.C.No.3852/08 2 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.3852/08 3 Crl.M.C.No.3852/08 4 R.BASANT, J.
