Arunachalam v. The Deputy Superintendent of Police

O R D E R

This Criminal Original Petition is filed to direct the learned Judicial Magistrate No.2, Kuzhithurai, to consider the bail application on the same day of surreder of the petitioner in PRC No.29/2016 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.2, Kuzhithurai.

2.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) would submit that during the course of investigation, this petitioner was absconding. This cannot be accepted, since he is working as Constable in Kanyakumari District. At that time of filing the Final Report, he is shown as absconding accused, which ought not to have been done.

¶3However, report was called for from the concerned trial Court. The report is received, stating that because of non appearance of this petitioner, warrant was issued.

¶4The warrant ought not to have been issued at the first instance. Now the committal process is under way. Let the petitioner appear before the committal Court, set out the facts and circumstances and execute bond under Section 88 of Cr.P.C. to the satisfaction and as required by the trial Court. The committal Court shall accept the bond be executed by the petitioner, since he has not going to abscond, owing to his job nature. Even though specific direction cannot issue to the committal Court to act in a particular manner, considering the above said circumstances, this direction is issued.

¶5With the above said directions, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
