The petitioner is the first accused in Crime No.568 of 2004 of Kundara Police Station registered under Sections 55(a), (b), (g) and (i) and 8(1) and (2) of the Abkari Act. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.P. No.21 of 2007 before the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-I, Kollam, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on which it is filed after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non- appearance. With the above observation, this application is disposed of. (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) sp/ 2 KURIAN JOSEPH & HAURN-UL-RASHID, JJ. L.A.A. NO JUDGMENT 8TH APRIL, 2008 3
