CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R. BASANT, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Crl.M.C.No. 3488 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 16th day of September, 2008 O R D E R The petitioner, who faces indictment in a prosecution under Section 308 I.P.C. and against whom coercive processes have been issued by the learned Magistrate, has come before this Court with a prayer that appropriate direction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. may be issued in his favour. 2. Earlier anticipatory bail was granted to the petitioner. He did not comply with the directions. It is thereafter that the final report has been filed and cognizance has been taken by the learned Magistrate. Committal proceedings has been registered. The petitioner faces the prospect of imminent arrest in execution of such processes issued by the learned Magistrate. 3. It is for the petitioner to appear before the learned Magistrate and seek regular bail now. Needles to say, such application for regular bail must be considered by the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously. Crl.M.C.No. 3488 of 2008 2 Sufficient general directions have already been issued by this Court in the decision in Alice George v. Dy.S.P. of Police (2003 (1) KLT 339). I am not satisfied that special or separate direction deserves to be issued in each case to the subordinate courts to comply with the directions in Alice Georg (supra). If the directions are not complied with by the learned Magistrate, the option of the petitioner to complain to this Court shall remain. 4. This application is accordingly dismissed. 5. Hand over the order. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
