ORDER
The petitioner is the 5th accused in Crime N.31/2001 of Sooranad
Police Station which was registered for the offences punishable under
Sections 143, 147, 148, 323, 324 and 149 of Indian Penal Code.
2. The aforesaid case is now pending as L.P. No.47/2011 as
against the petitioner herein. It is pointed out that, Annexure 1 is the
final report submitted by the Police and cognizance thereon was taken by
the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Sasthamcotta as C.C.
No.363/2006. It is submitted by the petitioner that all the accused persons
except the petitioner have participated in the trial conducted in the said
case and as per judgment dated 24.01.2011 all the other accused persons
were acquitted. The case against the petitioner was split up and re-
numbered as C.C. No.70/2011. However, as the petitioner was abroad, he
could not appear before the trial court and accordingly a non bailabe
warrant was happened to be issued. Now the same is included in the
Long Pending Register. Now the petitioner has approached this Court
seeking for a liberty to surrender before the trial court and also for a
direction to consider his application for bail on the date of surrender
itself.
CRL.MC NO. 4329 OF 2022
3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also
taking into account the fact that all the other accused persons were
already acquitted, it is only proper that the trial against the petitioner is
also to be completed as expeditiously as possible. For completing the
said exercise appearance of the petitioner is absolutely necessary. In
such circumstances, some indulgence can be shown.
In the result, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of directing the petitioner to
surrender before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Sasthamcotta
within a period of two weeks from today and to submit an application for
bail. Upon such surrender and submission of application, the learned
Magistrate shall take up the said application and pass appropriate orders
thereon positively on the date of surrender itself. To facilitate the
petitioner to do so, the execution of non bailable warrant shall be kept in
abeyance for a period of two weeks from today or till the date of
surrender whichever is earlier.
