Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners pray to modify the earlier order passed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.10776 of 2017 directing the petitioners to surrender before the learned II Additional District Judge, (PCR) Court, Tirunelveli. He further submitted that the learned Judge was directed to pass appropriate orders on the bail petition filed by https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.

the petitioners in connection with Crime No.566 of 2017 on merits and in accordance with law, after issuing notice to the victims under Section 15(A) of SC/ST Act. He further submitted that since there was a life threat to the petitioners, the petitioners pray to modify the earlier order instead of to surrender before the II Additional District Judge, (PCR) Court, Tirunelveli, they wants to surrender before any other competent Court at Madurai. 4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police strongly opposed to modify the earlier order that since all the records relevant to this case is pending before the learned II Additional District Judge, (PCR) Court, Tirunelveli and it is difficult for the respondent police to attend the case at Madurai, if the petitioners are surrendered before the Madurai.

Therefore, he strongly opposed to modify the earlier order. 5.Considering the nature of the request made by the petitioners, I am not inclined to modify the earlier order. But, the allegation set out in the affidavit filed by the petitioners, I am inclined to direct the respondent police viz., the Inspector of Police, Palayankottai Police Station, Tirunelveli, to give proper police protection to the petitioners for surrendering before the learned II Additional District Judge, (PCR) Court, Tirunelveli and the petitioners are directed to inform the respondent police well in advance before surrender.
