O R D E R
Dated this the 3rd day of December 2020 The applicant apprehends arrest in an unknown crime of Ottappalam Police Station, and therefore, approaches this Court for anticipatory bail. The learned Public Prosecutor, under instructions, submits that no crime has been registered at the Ottappalam Police Station for a non-bailable offence against the applicant so far. Hence, the apprehension of arrest is misplaced. In the result, the bail application is disposed of with a direction to the Station House Officer, Ottappalam Police
Station to the effect that the applicant shall not be arrested until a notice under Section 41A of Cr.P.C. has been served upon him, in case a crime for a non-bailable offence is registered against him in that Police Station. Sd/- dkr ASHOK MENON JUDGE
