Nos. 3504 & 3505 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of September, 2008 ORDER The common petitioner herein, who faces indictment in two separate prosecutions – both under Sec.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, has come to this Court for issue of directions under Sec.482 Cr.P.C. to ensure that the learned Magistrates do comply with with the directions in Alice George v. Deputy Superintendent of Police (2003 (1) KLT 339) and do consider his applications for bail to be filed when he, against whom non-bailable warrants of arrest have been issued by the learned Magistrates to procure his presence, surrenders and applies for bail. 2. Sufficient general directions have already been issued in Alice George. Every court is expected to comply with such directions. I am not satisfied that it is necessary to issue Crl.M.C. Nos. 3504 & 3505 of 2008 -: 2 :- repetitive directions in individual cases to the subordinate magistracy to comply with the directions in Alice George. Every court must scrupulously comply with the same. If the same is not complied with, the petitioner can complain to the superior courts. I am not satisfied that any special or specific directions need be issued. 3. With the above observations, these Crl.M.Cs. are dismissed. 4. Hand over a copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner. (R. BASANT, JUDGE) Nan/ Crl.M.C. Nos. 3504 & 3505 of 2008 -: 3 :-
