No. 119 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court- I, Pathanamthitta. Apprehending arrest, detention and torture at the hands of the investigating officer, this application is filed. Since the charge sheet has already been filed, I do not think the petitioner shall be arrested, especially when the allegation is that the offence was committed on 3.3.2010. Therefore, this petition is dismissed with direction to the petitioner to appear before the committal court and apply for regular bail, which shall be disposed of by the learned magistrate on merits. The petitioner shall appear before the committal court within two weeks. P.S. GOPINATHAN, (JUDGE) knc/-
