R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- Crl.M.C.Nos.3963,3965 & 3968 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of October 2008 O R D E R The common petitioner faces indictment in three prosecutions for offences punishable inter alia under Sections 353, 307 and 326 I.P.C. Two of them are pending as committal proceedings whereas the third one is pending as calender case, all before the same court, that is the learned J.F.C.M, Kunnamkulam. Cognizance has been taken in all the cases. Consequent to non-appearance of the petitioner, warrants of arrest have been issued against the petitioner. The petitioner who apprehends imminent arrest in these cases has come to this court with the prayer that directions under Section 482 Cr.P.C may be issued to the learned Magistrate to comply with the directions in Alice George vs.Deputy Superintendent of Police [2003(1)KLT 339] and Sukumari v. State of Kerala [2001(1)KLT 22]) and to consider his application for bail to be filed by him when he surrenders before the learned Magistrate on merits, in accordance with law and expeditiously - on the date of surrender itself. Crl.M.C.No.3963/08& conn.cases 2 2. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in Alice George and Sukumari (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 and Sukumari (Supra). Every court is bound to do the same. I have no reason to assume that 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.
