V.RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.3296 of 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of August, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is the accused in L.P.No.66/2009 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-II, Ernakulam for an offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, seeks a direction to the said Magistrate to release the petitioner on bail on the date of his surrender itself. 2. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. The circumstances under which those non-bailable warrants of arrest came to be issued against the petitioner are not discernible to this Court. It is only proper that the petitioner surrenders before the J.F.C.M-II, Ernakulam and seeks regular bail. Accordingly, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of permitting the petitioner to surrender before the learned Magistrate and file an application for regular bail within a period of Crl.M.C.No.3296/2010 : 2 : two weeks from today. In case, the petitioner complies with the above condition, he shall be released on bail on appropriate conditions. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
