                           Crl.M.C. No.6435 of 2023

                   Dated this the 5th day of April, 2024


                                        ORDER

Petitioners are accused Nos.1 to 4 in C.C.No.2486/2013 on the files

of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Chavakkad. The

offences alleged against them are under Sections 417, 418, and 420

r/w Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

2. Due to the non-appearance of the petitioners, non bailable warrants

have been issued against them. Even though petitioners are willing

to appear and participate in the trial, they apprehend that they will

be remanded to custody.

3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned

Public Prosecutor, I am of the view that this Crl.M.C. can be

disposed of with a direction.

4. Since petitioners have expressed their willingness to participate in

the trial, there will be a direction to the Judicial First Class

Magistrate Court-I, Chavakkad to consider the applications for recall

of warrant and for grant of bail, if any, filed by the petitioners in

C.C.No.2486/2013, on the same day itself, provided such applications

are filed within 15 days from today.

5. To enable the petitioners to appear before the Magistrate as directed,

the non-bailable warrants issued against the petitioners shall be kept

in abeyance for a period of 15 days from today.

The Crl.M.C.is disposed of.
