CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ALONG WITH CRL.M.C NO.3675/2008 ON 30/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- Crl.M.C.Nos.3674 and 3675 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of September 2008 O R D E R The petitioner, who faces indictment in two different prosecutions both inter alia under Section 153(A) I.P.C; who has not appeared before the courts below to participate in the proceedings and against whom warrants of arrest have been issued by the courts concerned to procure his presence, 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 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. 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.Nos.3674 & 3675 of 2008 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, this petition is dismissed subject to the above specific observations. Hand over two copies of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner for production before the courts below.
