3. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent would submit that the petitioners are habitual offenders against whom there are 16 previous cases are pending.

Taking into consideration the facts and submissions, the only option for the petitioners is to surrender before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.2, Poonamallee/Committal Magistrate, and to file a petition to recall NBW already issued against them. On filing of such petition, the concerned learned Judicial Magistrate is directed to consider the same on merits and pass orders on the same day itself.
