ORDER
Petitioner is the 3rd accused in C.C.No.46/2016 on the files of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court (Economic Offences), Ernakulam. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 417, 420 r/w Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Since the petitioner has expressed his williness to participate in
the trial, there will be a direction to the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (E & O), Ernakulam to consider the applications for recall of warrant and for grant of bail, if any filed by the petitioner, 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 accordingly. sd/ BECHU KURIAN THOMAS JUDGE jm/ APPENDIX OF CRL.MC 2130/2024 PETITIONER ANNEXURES Annexure A1 COPY OF E-COURT PROCEEDINGS DATED 05/07/2023 OF ADDITIONAL CHIEF JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT (EO), ERNAKULAM Annexure A2 COPY OF THE DISCHARGE SUMMARY OF THE PETITIONER'S FATHER ISSUED FROM THE MEDICAL COLLEGE, KOTTAYAM DATED 30/06/2023
