THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON

CRL.M.C.NO.2056 OF 2020

ORDER
Dated this the 22nd day of March 2021
Petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure-A4 order of
the Special Court for SC/ST (PoA) Act cases, Manjeri,
dismissing the application for release of the passport
surrendered in compliance of the directions in the
order granting bail to him in Crime No.341/2016 of
Melattur Police Station. The dismissal is for the
reason that the affidavit filed by the petitioner was
not in accordance with the direction of the Special
Court. As the petitioner had sought release of his
passport for the purpose of producing it during his
medical check up as a part of the process of issuing
visa to Canada, the court had directed the petitioner
to file an affidavit containing the date of the medical
check up and other details, which the petitioner failed
to do.
2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits
that the petitioner has been asked to undergo the
medical checkup on 23.03.2021. It is submitted that CRL.M.C.NO.2056 OF 2020
the petitioner is prepared to furnish all details
regarding the medical check up and the process for
issuance of visa.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor submits that the
petitioner should approach the Special Court with a
fresh application, rather than rushing to this Court.
I find substance in the submission of the learned
Public Prosecutor. The Criminal M.C. is hence
disposed of, permitting the petitioner to submit a
fresh application seeking release of his passport.
Along with the application, the petitioner shall
append all necessary documents and furnish the
relevant dates and details and shall also undertake
that he will leave the country only after obtaining
permission from the court. On such application being
filed, the learned Special Judge shall pass orders
thereon within ten days, untrammeled by the
observations in Annexure-A4 order.
