BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.P.N.SUKUMARAN THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` B.A. No. 1070 OF 2007 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 27th day of February, 2007 O R D E R Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.25/2007 of Parassala Police Station for an offence punishable under section 511 of 379 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. He was arrested on 18.1.2007. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the petitioner is an accused in three other cases involving an offence punishable under Section 379 IPC and one case involving an offence punishable under Section 511 of 376 IPC. 3. The case of the prosecution is that on 17.1.2007 at about 9 p.m. the petitioner stealthily entered the house of the de facto complainant and attempted to snatch the gold chain worn by his wife. 4. The petitioner is stated to be a habitual offender. Having regard to the antecedents to the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the charge sheet has also been filed before the JFCM-II, Neyyattinkara on 25.1.2007. It is only fair that the case against the petitioner is directed to be disposed of expeditiously. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed with a direction to the JCFM-II, Neyyattinkara to expedite the trial of the above case. An endeavour shall be made to dispose of the case within BA.1070/07 : 2 : four months of receipt of a copy of this judgment failing which the Magistrate shall submit a report to the Registry of this court through proper channel explaining the reason as to why the above time limit could not be adhered to.
