BY ADV. SRI.SUNNY MATHEW RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT --------------- 1. THE STATION HOUSE OFFICER, SAVODA POLICE STATION, RATNAGIRI DISTRICT, MAHARASHTRA STATE. 2. THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, EDAVANNA POLICE STATION. 3. THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, MANJERI POLICE STATION. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.GIKKU JACOB THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J ------------------------------------ Crl.M.C. No.350 of 2009 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of January, 2009 ORDER Petitioner faces allegations in a crime registered before the Savoda Police Station, ie. a police station situated within the State of Maharashtra. The petitioner apprehends arrest within the jurisdiction of this Court at any time. Allegations of non bailable offences have been raised against the petitioner. 2. The petitioner, it is submitted, has not approached the Court which has jurisdiction under Section 438 Cr.P.C. Instead, he has come before this Court with this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Reasonably and legitimately the petitioner can at least claim only directions under Section 438 Cr.P.C if the Court concerned is pleased with the acceptability of the claim of the petitioner. I find that no directions under Section 482 Cr.P.C can, need or ought to be issued in respect of a proceedings pending before a court outside the State of Kerala. In exercise of the jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C such a direction is certainly not warranted. 3. This Crl.M.C is, in these circumstances, dismissed. I may hasten to observe that the dismissal of this petition will not in any way fetter the rights of the petitioner to seek anticipatory bail from the court concerned. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/-
