2.It is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the petitioner is a sole accused in Crime No.515 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent police, which was registered for the offences under Sections 294(b), 355 and 506(1) IPC, 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s) and 3(2)(va) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

3.The petitioner submits that he intends to surrender before the learned I Additional District and Sessions Judge (PCR Court), Thanjavur and sought for a direction to dispose of the bail application on the very same day in Crime No.515 of 2023 on the file of the second respondent.

4.Considering the circumstances, the petitioner is at liberty to surrender before the learned I Additional District and Sessions Judge (PCR Court), Thanjavur, within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
