O R D E R

Petition filed under section 482 Cr.P.C.

2. The petitioner after obtaining bail during investigation failed to appear before the court concerned. His case was removed to the register of long pending cases. He apprehends that if he surrenders before the court, he will be remanded to judicial custody. His prayer is to direct the Magistrate to recall the arrest warrant issued against him and to consider the bail application that may be filed by him on his surrender before the court.

3. Heard.

4. It is not in dispute that after obtaining bail the petitioner absconded. He was working abroad. He must face the consequences. There is no justification for the prayer for recalling the warrant. No direction can be issued to the Magistrate to consider the bail application that may be filed by the petitioner if he surrenders before the court.

In the result, the Crl.M.C. is dismissed.
