THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1739 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to set aside the “Lookout notice” issued against him in connection with the offences alleged to have been committed by him under Sections 420 and 408 read with Section 120-B of IPC. Admittedly, the said “Lookout notice” was issued in the June, 2008. Subsequently, the petitioner surrendered before the Court and he was released on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- with two sureties for a likesum each and on further condition that he should report before the concerned police on every Monday between 4.00 to 6.00 p.m. until further orders. However, later on, the petitioner moved an appropriate application before the concerned Court, for relaxation of condition imposed on him with regard to his appearance between the concerned police on every Monday, and the same was allowed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since the petitioner has surrendered before the Court and obtained bail from the concerned Court, the continuation of “Lookout Notice” is clear abuse of process of law, therefore, the same may be set aside. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the investigation in the present case is completed and the charge sheet is likely to be filed before the concerned Court. Considering the circumstances of the case and the submissions made on either side, this Court is of the view that the “Lookout notice” issued against the petitioner in the year 2008 is liable to be recalled and the same is, accordingly, recalled. However, the petitioner is directed to appear before the concerned Court on receipt of summons. With the above directions, this criminal petition is disposed of. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 14.03.2011 v v
