BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- B.A.No.5041 of 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August 2007 O R D E R Second application for anticipatory bail. The earlier application was disposed of by Annexure A1 order wherein directions in favour of the petitioner were issued. The petitioner was to surrender before the learned Magistrate within two weeks from 29/5/2007. The petitioner did not appear before the learned Magistrate. He has now come before this court with a further application for anticipatory bail. I find no change in circumstances which can justify issue of any different directions now. It is for the petitioner to appear before the learned Magistrate and seek regular bail now, he having not taken advantage of the order dated 29/5/2007. 2. In the result, this petition is dismissed. Needless to say, if the petitioner surrenders before the investigating officer or the learned Magistrate and applies for regular bail, after giving sufficient prior notice to the Prosecutor in charge of the case, the learned Magistrate must proceed to pass appropriate orders on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously.
