CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SMT P.S.GOPINATHAN, J. ---------------------------------------- Crl.M.C.NO. 993 OF 2012 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of March, 2012 O R D E R In this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioners, who are accused 11 to 14 in Crime No.202/2011 of Puthencruz Police Station for the offences under Section 143, 144, 147, 148, 308, 332 and 427 read with 149 and Section 3(1) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984, seek an order to direct the committal court to consider their application for bail and pass orders on the date of surrender. 2. Having heard, I find no material to come to a conclusion that the petitioners would not get a just and fair disposal of their application for bail. Therefore, this petition is a misconceived one. However, this petition is disposed of with direction to the petitioners to surrender before the committal court on the next posting date or on any other day as may be determined by the committal court and apply to release them on bail which the learned Magistrate shall dispose of on merits, preferably on the same day, provided due notice is given to the Assistant Public Prosecutor.
