P.UBAID, J.

--------------------------------------- Crl.M.C No.510 of 2015 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of January, 2015 O R D E R The petitioner herein is the accused in C.P No.172/2014 of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Karunagappally. On the apprehension of arrest and remand to judicial custody in execution of a warrant of arrest issued from the court below he seeks orders from this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure directing the court below to recall the warrant and to release him on bail, or to decide and dispose of his application for bail, without delay. Of course, the relief as sought by the petitioner cannot be granted by this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

The learned Magistrate, who has issued warrant of arrest for proper reasons, will have to consider the request to recall the warrant. It is for the court below to decide whether bail could be granted to the petitioner. The petitioner will have to surrender before the court below and make application for bail.

Crl.M.C No.510 of 2015 issued. When such satisfactory explanation is there, the question of releasing him on bail on appropriate conditions can be thought of by the learned Magistrate. Anyway, let appropriate decision regarding bail be taken by the learned Magistrate. However, a direction can be made to consider and dispose of the application for bail on the date of surrender itself. In the result, this petition is closed with direction to the court below that in case the petitioner makes application for bail on surrender in C.P No.172/2014, the same shall be judiciously considered and decided, on the date of surrender itself, however, with notice to the other side.
