Charge sheet has been filed. Cognizance has been taken. Committal proceedings has been registered. The petitioner was granted anticipatory bail and he had executed the necessary bonds and was continuing on bail. After cognizance was taken, the petitioner has not been able to appear before court as he was employed abroad. The case has been transferred to the list of long pending cases and coercive processes have been issued against the petitioner. The petitioner apprehends imminent arrest in execution of such processes. 2. The petitioner has now 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 Crl.M.C.No.4219/08 2 accordance with law and expeditiously - on the date of surrender itself. 3. 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 the same shall not be done. If the directions are not complied with the avenues of challenge/complaint are available for the petitioner. 4. In the result, this petition is dismissed subject to the above specific observations. 5. 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.4219/08 3 Crl.M.C.No.4219/08 4 R.BASANT, J.
