R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- Crl.M.C.Nos.3759 & 3760 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of October 2008 O R D E R The petitioner who faces indictment in two different crimes registered at the same police station alleging offences punishable under the Copy Rights Act and who apprehends arrest in those crimes has come to this court with these petitions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. He has not sought anticipatory bail. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays that the petitioner shall be satisfied if there is a direction to consider his applications for bail to be filed by him after he surrenders before the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously - in accordance with the stipulations in Alice George vs.Deputy Superintendent of Police [2003(1)KLT 339]. 2. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in Alice George (Supra). It is not necessary for this court in every subsequent case to issue directions to the Magistracy to follow the dictum in Alice George (Supra). Every court is bound to do the same. I have no reason to assume that Crl.M.C.No.3759/08 2 the same shall not be done. If the directions are not complied with the avenues of challenge/complaint are available for the petitioner. 3. In the result, these petitions are dismissed subject to the above specific observations. Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner for production before the learned Magistrate. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) jsr Crl.M.C.No.3759/08 3 Crl.M.C.No.3759/08 4 R.BASANT, J.
