Mohammed Ibrahimsha v. The Deputy Superintendent of Police

O RDER

This Criminal Original Petition is filed seeking for a direction to the learned III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Madurai (Special Court for trial of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Act Cases) to consider the bail application of the petitioner on the same day of surrender in Crime No.240 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent Police Station.

¶2It is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the petitioner is the sole Accused in Crime No.240 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent police, which was registered for the offences under Sections 294(b), 355 and 506 (1) of IPC and 3 (1) (r) and 3 (1) (s) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015.

¶3The petitioner submits that he intends to surrender before the learned Special Judge and sought for a direction to dispose of the bail application on the very same day in Crime No.240 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent.

¶4Considering the circumstances, the petitioner is at liberty to surrender before the learned III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Madurai (Special Court for trial of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Act Cases) within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If the petitioner surrenders and files bail application, the learned Special Judge is directed to dispose of the same as per law as expeditiously as possible preferably on the same day by giving notice to the prosecutor and on hearing both sides. It is needless to state that merely because this direction is given to dispose of the application possibly on the very same day does not mean that the bail application shall be allowed. The learned Special Judge is directed to consider and dispose of the same on hearing both sides on the basis of merits and as per law.
