IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

BY INSPECTOR OF POLICE, RAJAPURAM POLICE STATION, REP. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.AMJAD ALI THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- Crl.M.C.No.4129 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of November 2008 O R D E R The petitioner, who faces allegations in a crime registered alleging offences punishable inter alia under Section 420 and whose application for anticipatory bail stands dismissed by the bail Bench of this court earlier, has now come before this court with the prayer to seek directions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 2. Application for anticipatory bail having been dismissed by another Bench of this court, the petitioner must now surrender before the investigating officer or the learned Magistrate and then seek regular bail. Application for regular bail to be filed by the petitioner, needless to say, must be disposed of on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in Alice George vs.Deputy Superintendent of Police [2003(1)KLT 339] to oblige the courts to expeditiously dispose of the bail applications. I am not satisfied that any further or more specific directions deserve to be issued. It is for the petitioner to appear before the learned Magistrate and seek regular bail. If the Crl.M.C.No.4129/08 2 directions in Alice George (Supra) are not complied with, avenues of challenge/complaint shall be available to the petitioner. 3. In the result, this petition is dismissed subject to the above specific observations. 4. Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner.
