========================= Crl.M.C.No.4433 of 2015 ========================= Dated this the 29th day of July, 2015
ORDER
The petitioners herein are the accused Nos. 2 to 4 in CC No.99 of 2012 of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-I, Aluva. On the apprehension of the arrest and the remand to the judicial custody in execution of warrant of arrest issued to the Court the petitioners seek orders under Section 482 Cr.P.C. directing the learned Magistrate to recall the warrant and to release the petitioners on bail. Such relief cannot be granted by this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. The petitioners will have to surrender before the learned Magistrate and obtain regular bail under Section 437 Cr.P.C. The grievance of the petitioners is that they had not in fact received the summons from the Court. If it is true, it will have to be considered by the learned Magistrate, when application for bail comes.
I do not think that the learned Magistrate will mechanically remand the petitioners to custody. On a perusal of the materials including, the complaint that led to the crime, I find that the transaction alleged in the complaint is more of a civil nature than of a criminal nature. It appears that the real subject matter of dispute is a contract. All these aspects will have to be considered by the learned Magistrate, when request for bail comes.
Crl.M.C.No.4433 of 2015 appropriately.
In the result, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of with a direction to the learned Magistrate having jurisdiction, that in case the petitioners made application for bail on surrender in C.C.No.99/2012, the same shall be judiciously considered and decided on the date of surrender itself. The matters discussed above will have to be considered by the learned Magistrate. Time for ten days is granted to the petitioners to surrender and apply for bail. During this period, execution of warrant of arrest will stand suspended.
