Dated: 24th March, 2021
ORDER
For information purpose only Petitioners are accused Nos.2 and 4 in Crime
No.747/2013 of the Bakel Police Station,
registered for offences under Section 143, 147,
148, 324, 308 read with 149 of I.P.C. The case
against the petitioners is pending as
L.P.C.No.28/2015 on the files of the Judicial
First Class Magistrate-II, Hosdurg. The prayer
in this Criminal M.C. is to quash the further
proceedings against the petitioners in the said
case based on the judgment of acquittal rendered
in the case of the co-accused.
It is the consistent stand of this Court
that, if at all the benefit of acquittal rendered
in the case of the co-accused is to be extended
to an absconding accused, he should first
surrender himself to the process of law. Crl.M.C No.1306 of 2021
Therefore, as an interim measure, the
petitioners are directed to surrender before the
For information purpose only Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Hosdurg in
L.P.C.No.28/2015 and move an application for
bail, with advance notice to the Public
Prosecutor. In such event, the learned Magistrate
shall consider the application for bail on the
date of surrender and pass appropriate orders
thereon on the same day. In order to provide an
opportunity for the petitioners to surrender and
seek bail, the non-bailable warrant pending
against them shall be kept in abeyance for two
weeks.
Post when moved again.
