ORDER
Dated this the 02nd day of March, 2021 APPLICATION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL The applicant is the 2nd accused in Crime No.224 of 1989 of Pudukkad Police Station, Thrissur, for having allegedly committed offences punishable under Section 420 of the IPC and Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act (for short the "NI Act"). The prosecution case, in brief, is this:
2. The applicant was allegedly absconding and the case against him has been consigned to the register of Long Pending cases as L.P.No.6/1990. The warrant is pending against him. The applicant states that he was in Tirupur and was not aware of the allegations against him. And, therefore, he could not appear to contest. He is willing to co-operate with the investigation and the trial. And, therefore, he seeks pre-arrest bail.
3. Considering the fact that the applicant has been absconding and an L.P warrant is pending against the applicant, he is not entitled to the exceptional remedy under Section 438 B.A.No.2116 OF 2021 3 Cr.P.C.
The applicant is directed to surrender before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Irinjalakuda, and apply for a regular bail before that court which shall be preferably considered on its merits and disposed of on the very same date.
Hence, the bail application is disposed of.
