Petitioner is the accused in L.P.No.61 of 2001 in C.C.No.174 of 2001 on the files of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Chittur, Palakkad. The offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 420 r/w Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Due to non-appearance of the petitioner, a non-bailable warrant has been issued against him. Even though petitioner is willing to appear and participate in the trial, he apprehends that he will be remanded to custody.
Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor, I am of the view that this Crl.M.C. can be disposed of with a direction.
Since the petitioner has expressed his willingness to participate in the trial, there will be a direction to the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Chittur, Palakkad, to consider the applications for recall of warrant and for grant of bail, if any filed by the petitioner in L.P.No.61 of 2001 in C.C.No.174 of 2001, on the same day itself, provided such applications are filed within 15 days from today. To enable the petitioner to appear before the Magistrate as directed, the non-bailable warrant issued against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance for a period of 15 days from today.
The Crl.M.C. is disposed of as above.
