ORDER
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor representing the respondent.
2. The petitioner who is the 5th accused in C.C.No.134/2020 of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kanjirappilly would contend that he could not appear before the said Court during the course of trial since he was employed abroad. For the same reason, the case against him is said to have been transferred to Long Pending Register and numbered as L.P.No.50/2024. Now, he wants to surrender before the Trial Court and seek bail. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is likely to be remanded to judicial custody unless there is a direction to the Trial Court to dispose of the bail application on the same day when he surrenders before the learned Magistrate.
3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case as borne out from the records and the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor, it appears to be expedient in the interests of justice to direct the Trial CRL.MC NO. 3882 OF 2024 3 Court to consider the bail application, if any, filed by the petitioner on the same day itself when it is submitted and also to pass orders, as far as possible, on the date of surrender of the petitioner before the Trial Court. The petitioner shall serve a copy of the bail application sufficiently earlier to the Assistant Public Prosecutor before the Trial Court.
Accordingly, the petition is disposed of with the aforesaid directions to the Trial Court.
