ORDER
Petitioner is the accused in C.C.No.1498 of 2017 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Tripunithura. Aforesaid case is registered against the petitioner for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 294(b), 323, 143, 147 read with Section 149 IPC. In connection with aforesaid crime, the petitioner was arrested and later released on bail.
2. Subsequently, he was arrested in connection with another case numbered as Crime No.600 of 2021 of Aloor Police Station and he was under judicial detention from 05.11.2021 to 07.01.2022. In the meanwhile, cognizance was taken in the earlier crime and he could not to appear before the learned Magistrate, which resulted in issuance of a non-bailable warrant against the petitioner. Prayer sought for by the petitioner in this Crl.M.C. is for a direction to the learned Magistrate to release the petitioner on bail in the event of surrender.
3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the reasons stated by the petitioner for his non appearance, I am of the view that an opportunity can be granted to the petitioner to surrender before the learned Magistrate. Such Crl.M.C.No.3017/22 3 an opportunity is also absolutely necessary for ensuring that the trial of the case is conducted expeditiously.
4. In such circumstances, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of directing the petitioner to surrender before the trial court within a period of two weeks from today and submit an application for bail. In the event of such surrender and submission of application for bail, the same shall be taken up by the trial court positively on the date of surrender itself, provided a notice in this regard is given to the Public Prosecutor concerned, in advance.
This Crl.M.C. is disposed of as above.
